Indian investors can buy Meta 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 Meta stock units. 

Let us understand this better with an example. if you have $10 or ₹864.7 to invest and the cost of Meta stock is $623.50 or ₹53,914, you can still invest your $10 or ₹864.7 and get 10/623.50 that is 0.016 units of Meta shares in your account.

Another way to understand this is, if 1 Meta stock costs $623.50 or ₹53,914, you can buy Meta stock worth $250 or ₹21,617.5 which will give you 250/623.50 units which means you will get 0.40 Meta 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 Meta from India, 5 years ago then the total returns (including dollar appreciation) from Meta stocks would be 243.92%. The annualised return would be 28%.

On top of that, the investors will enjoy the gains from appreciation in dollar value versus rupees which would be 21.22%. 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
