How to start investing in U.S. stocks from LATAM

A short, honest guide to opening your first position in Apple, Tesla, or an ETF without losing your mind. No jargon, no empty promises.


For years, investing in the U.S. market from Argentina, Colombia, or Mexico was a headache: offshore accounts, eye-watering transfer fees, brokers asking for impossible minimum deposits. Berry exists to erase all of that.

What you need before you start

First: investing is not gambling. It is allocating capital to companies you believe will create more value over 5, 10, or 20 years. If you enter with money you need in six months, you are not investing — you are speculating.

Your first trade

If you are just starting, the short answer is: a broad ETF like SPY or VOO. They replicate the S&P 500 — the 500 largest U.S. companies. You diversify from day one without betting on a single name.
