Indian investors can buy Amazon shares in fractions or a part of the whole stock value instead of the entire stock. In simple terms, you can even buy 0.1 or any fraction of Amazon stock units. 

Let us understand this better with an example, if you have $10 or ₹855.35 to invest and the cost of Amazon stock is $227.03 or ₹19,234, you can still invest your $10 or ₹847.2 and get 10/227.03 that is 0.0440 units of the Amazon stock in your account. 

Another way to understand this is, if 1 Amazon stock costs $227.03 or ₹19,234, you can buy Amazon stock worth $250 or ₹21,180 which will give you 250/227.03 units which means you will get 1.10 Amazon shares.

An investor investing in US stocks from India not only benefits from stock or capital returns but also gets the benefit of dollar appreciation versus rupees.

If an Indian resident would have invested in Amazon from India, 5 years ago then the total returns (including dollar appreciation) from Amazon stocks would be 205%. The annualised return would be 25%. 

To understand this in simple terms, capital appreciation in the last 5 years from Amazon stocks would be 157.84%. 

On top of this, the investors will enjoy the gains from appreciation in dollar value versus rupees which would be 18.13%. The calculation is for the last 5 years.

Hence, investing in US stocks from the US will only give an investor capital gains, but an Indian investor will enjoy additional gains from dollar appreciation.

Amazon stock has given 205% returns in the last 5 years, whereas Walmart stock has given 182%. $100 invested in Amazon stock 5 years ago would have become $305 and $100 invested in Walmart or Google stock would have become $282 and $309, respectively.
