Yes, they are held custodial. There will be taxes charged, that can been claimed on a IR3.
I understand death duties would apply, however I'm ok with that for my small holding.

Most trades are $9.95. Trades are held as street and you can enable DRP on most holdings.
I've used nzforex to fund it, which has worked fine.
I have been trying to apply online with Ameritrade. Seems doable as NZ citizen and resident except for needing an ITIN (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indivi...ication_Number.) What did you do there?

Are you sure? There is one field for the ITIN which is supposed to be issued by the IRS in the USA for non-Americans. Ameritrade had a second field for what was presumably my IRD number, i.e., the tax number in my home country...
