Investment in Funds Abroad

Hello,
Is it halachically permissible to buy and directly hold shares of American companies, such as NVIDIA (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), AMD, and Intuit (INTU)?

Additionally, is there a halachic difference between investing directly in shares of a company abroad and investing through an index fund or ETF?

Thank you very much.

Hello and blessings 

Investment in funds abroad is permitted. 

Investment through companies owned by Jews sometimes requires a heter iska, and one must examine how the payments to the company itself are defined.
