  2. Open and fund your brokerage account. Complete an application with your personal and financial details, like your ID and bank information. Fund your account with a bank transfer, credit card or debit card.
  3. Search for Hybe. Find the stock by name or ticker symbol. Research its history to confirm it's a solid investment against your financial goals.

  6. Check in on your investment. Congratulations, you own a part of Hybe. Optimise your portfolio by tracking how your stock — and even the business — performs with an eye on the long term. You may be eligible for dividends and shareholder voting rights on directors and management that can affect your stock.
