Best ETFs for European Investors (2024)

[@thetomcrosshill]

If you live in Europe and want to start investing, I've got a free webinar that you will enjoy - sign up here: indexmasterclass.com/webinar

[@LiquidityOcelot]

Watching in my 40s... And only just starting I feel so behind!

[@philcrowley007]

Gotta start somewhere

[@VanillaCherryBread]

Keep going mate I started at 41... was in 7K debt and living in my overdraft. I'm now debt free have a 15K emergency fund. 20K saving pot and just surpassed ~£150K. Diversification and a clear understanding of your financial goals are key... I am almost 43 now!

[@henrymitchell9717]

The only comparison that matters is the one to yesterday's self. Today you're starting which means you're already better than you were yesterday:)

[@Aussie.ln.a.T-shiRt]

I lost a lot chasing individual stocks and I feel pretty silly for not understanding how investing works. I have a double major in economics but I’ve been trying to make sense of the market. Well done on profits!

[@VanillaCherryBread]

Keep it simple, buy things you understand, take some risk but don't try to shoot the lights out. I’m invested in ETFs, equity index funds, and individual stocks and use a CFA. On average, she takes 10% of earnings, but using *Lina Dineikiene's* system makes it much more hands-off. I conservatively follow her recommendations and market entry and exit points, and tbh this makes it fairly simple for me... I am convinced it's not just hard work but smart work :-)

[@Riggsnic_co]

I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio of $450k dwindle away is such an eye -sore.

[@JacquelinePerrira]

there are tons of cool stocks in different industries to watch. You don't have to act on every forecast. I suggest teaming up with a financial advisor who can help you pick the right times to buy and sell the stocks or ETFs you're eyeing. They can give you some solid advice to make smart moves.

[@Jamessmith-12]

That's awesome to hear! Having a skilled advisor to guide your day-to-day investment decisions, especially with their expertise in long and short positions, risk management, and access to exclusive information, can really make a difference. It's no surprise you've seen such impressive returns, netting over 2.8 million in over 2 years. Keep up the great work with your advisor!

[@kevinmarten]

I actually subscribed for a few trading courses but it didn't help much, been getting suggestions to use a proper financial advisor, how did you go about touching base with your coach?

[@Jamessmith-12]

'Carol Vivian Constable, a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.

[@kevinmarten]

She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran an online search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.

[@Arnas_Valinskis]

@-Fredrickyes, and schd is only available in US, so your probided suggestion is not useful since this channel is about EU. While VOO and QQQ growth etfs have some alternatives in EU, schd do not have anything close to it. Either you pay ridiculous 0.39 etf fee with lower div yield than original schd etf or you go on single dividend paying stocks and try to mimick it yourself.

[@panagiotisbousios4760]

If you live in Europe you can invest at all US etfs like SCHD,DGRO etc. via Freedom24 broker.

[@TiagoPereira-hm1nq]

I am impressed. Excellent didactic. Please, keep making videos like this.

[@delikanzorbeygokyildiz4598]

This is a sales pitch, ETF investing is actually the easiest thing ever. The key point is taxes are unavoidable, dont think too much on them. Focus on maximizing your returns, not minimizing cost.

[@akik4417]

Thanks a lot, Tom! The video was very precise and to the point. I am looking into other videos, on how to find the best ETF being a digital nomad in Spain.

[@aaronmel370]

Ehrlich gesagt haben viele motivierende Milliardäre auf der Welt - sowohl Amerikaner, Europäer, Briten, Asiaten usw. - ihre Erfahrungen, wie wir sehen und hören können, aber was zählt, ist Ihre Einstellung und ein zuverlässiger Mentor, der Ihnen immer einen Weg weisen kann.

[@PepeGracia-ku1mp]

Accumulating ETFs outperform distributing so much if your country makes you to pay taxes on dividends. For example, i live in Spain and I have to pay 20% taxes on dividends. In the long run, thats a huge difference.

[@gerolori]

Isn't it the same? You're paying 20% on any gain both if you get 100$ out (with dividends) or 100000$ out (all at once, no dividends). Am I missing something?

[@memequy6936]

[@Arrowrude]

Well in German,we have the so called Vorabpauschale which makes you pay taxes every year,even If you sell nothing

[@damjanstoimenov]

What is your opinion on Vanguard VWCE? As it's the only FTSE All-World ETF available for purchase in euros, being based in Germany and considering I reside in Europe with euros, do you believe it's the optimal choice? Alternatively, could there be a better option available from Invesco? Maybe iShares like IWDE could be an option

[@kevine.167]

[@udcentrepreneur]

Hello Tom, thanks for this amazing video. I'm also in the UK and I would like to invest in the S&P 500 Index Fund. I have opened a Charles Schwab account but I don't see the option for Mutual Funds. I do have access to Stocks & ETFs, Schwab Stock Slices and Bonds but not the Schwab S&P 500 Index Fund. The customer service agent told me that international accounts are restricted from trading mutual funds with US. So, I hope you can help me. I would like to know what would be the S&P 500 Index Fund for the UK equivalent or similar. Thank you in advance for your help.

Great video Tom. Do we have to pay tax on dividends in Spain?

Can we invest directly into Index fund/stock S&P500 in EU? I have found that it is possible in the US (with a very low fee), but haven’t found any options in EU. 🤔 Or if I put in diferently, where can we invest to get the most for our money? Without any large fees, which eat your money each year. I would like my money to grow automaticly.

[@priosmitachakraborty5685]

Hey, could you please do a video on taxes and etfs in Ireland?

[@thetomcrosshill]

Hi! I usually don't go into country-specific detail on my channel - I cover that in my training courses. One quick takeaway is that Ireland's tax situation is not the friendliest toward index and ETF investors so it's great if you can invest through a pension wrapper where the tax issue is removed. But investing in ETFs directly is also possible!

The market is volatile at this time, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on

[@Natalieneptune469]

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day invt decisions being guided by a invt-coach, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using a invt-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million

In Switzerland my understanding is no taxes on capital gains (if investment time is over 6 months). Can anyone confirm? Thanks

[@thetomcrosshill]

I'm not a Swiss tax expert, but my understanding is generally that it's a bit more complicated - cap gains are tax free for most people, but not tax free if you are considered a professional investor - and there one of several criteria is the holding time for your investments (the 6 month limit). So if in doubt, one should always consult a tax advisor.
