Ive been in the US stock market since 2019. Right now all my funds are in TD Ameritrade (Singapore). Im just concerned about leaving everything on just 1 platform since ill be holding for the next 20-30 years.

Do you guys split your US stock investments and if so what other good and stable alternatives are there? I dont want those fly by night type of platforms like Robinhood, etc.

I too don't feel comfortable putting all in 1 platform and will not do so. Ideally would prefer to have 2 US brokerages as investing in US stocks but at the moment only have IBKR. (Do have Singapore brokerage like Tiger but still prefer another 1 in USA). Ramjade has mentioned some US brokerages but apart from IBKR, those are not popular/not so good. Robinhood is only in USA and while you do not like it, its very popular among US retailers and also stock investors (as they feel its future is bright. Robinhood is expanding its products). I would have opened Robinhood but its only for US people.

Tiger uses IBKR. You want to move away from.IBKR, only options are Tastytrade and First trade.

Sigh. I've read before that IBKR got support Tiger. But I would think that funds all kept separate, so its still some safety net if put in both places instead of only IBKR. Have never heard of Tastytrade (except from you) although I have heard of First Trade (but feedback is that its not so good). Guess I will hold on for the time being on opening a 2nd US brokerage. Have enough 'adventures/headache' with OCBC and other stuff recently. Need a break
