Meta Platforms Inc. was founded as Facebook in 2004 and operates through two primary segments: Family of Apps (FoA) and Reality Labs (RL).

Family of Apps (FoA) includes popular social media and messaging services such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Reality Labs (RL) focuses on augmented and virtual reality technologies, encompassing consumer hardware, software, and content.

Meta is investing heavily in the metaverse, aiming to capitalize on anticipated growth in virtual reality and artificial intelligence over the coming decade.

Buying Meta Shares:

Currency Exchange Fees: When buying shares in US dollars, a foreign exchange fee (typically around 1%) may apply unless using a US dollar account.

Transaction Fees: Brokers often charge a higher fee for purchasing US shares compared to UK shares. Comparing fees among brokers is advisable for frequent trading.

W-8BEN Form: This form, valid for three years, allows for a reduction in withholding tax on US dividends and interest from 30% to 15%.

Currency Risk: US shares involve foreign exchange risk. If the pound strengthens against the dollar, the value of your shares in sterling terms may decrease, and vice versa.
