First i thought going with TR because is based in Germany because of taxes maybe would be better but 1e per transaction would be too much if i just want to start with 10e , isn't it?

    Hi. Thank you for the video! I have the noob question, are there any problems with ETFs if I move between EU countries? What if I bought ETFs from Poland, using a Polish residence permit, and then go to Spain and expand my portfolio there, and then want to withdraw money in Spain, having a Spanish residence permit?

  • @SmartMoneywithKai

    @SmartMoneywithKai

    2 ай бұрын

    Hi 👋 Great question! Moving between EU countries with ETFs is generally straightforward, but here are a few points to consider: Broker Compatibility: Ensure your broker operates in both Poland and Spain. Some brokers might have restrictions or different services in various countries. Tax Implications: Each country has its own tax laws. When you move to Spain, you'll be subject to Spanish tax regulations on your investments, which might differ from Poland's. Currency Considerations: If your ETFs are in a different currency, be mindful of exchange rates and potential fees when you withdraw money. Residency Status: Make sure to update your residency status with your broker to comply with local regulations and ensure smooth transactions. It's usually manageable, but always good to check with your broker and possibly consult a tax advisor to understand specific implications. Cheers.

    Hi Kai, I really enjoyed your video on the best investing apps for Europeans in 2024. I'm a beginner investor myself, and I found your recommendations to be very helpful. I'm particularly interested in trading 212, as I like the idea of being able to start investing with as little as €1. I also appreciate that you mentioned the importance of diversifying your investments, and I'll definitely be checking out the app you recommended for tracking my investments across multiple brokers. Thanks for sharing your insights!

Smart move! Diversification is key, so I'm glad that resonated with you. Remember, it's all about playing the long game and making informed choices. Keep exploring and let me know how it goes with the investment tracking app. Cheers, Kai

    Is there any difference in buying stocks in $ vs stocks in €? For ex... I can buy V directly in € on the Deutsche Borse?

  • @SmartMoneywithKai

    @SmartMoneywithKai

    6 ай бұрын

    Great question! 💥 When you buy stocks in different currencies, like $ vs €, the main difference is currency risk. If you're buying V on the Deutsche Borse in €, keep an eye on exchange rates as they can affect your investment value. Personally I prefer buying stocks on their native stock exchange to also diversify my currency holdings, but if you prefer to buy in € you absolutely can👌

    Hi Carlos, I can't tell you the exact spread, but in my case & experience, it's always been very tight and quite close to IBKR, maybe if you trade €20K per trade you would see a bit but for most investors it's negligible. More important is the asset you invest in, if it has high liquidity & trading volume, T212 is going to be a great choice.

I use Revolut and Binance for this, but the commission fee and lack of variety are the things that bother me about Revolut, but the interface is easy for trading. Binance has a complicated interface and it is difficult to deposit and withdraw funds. Do you have any recommendation for Cryptocurrency Exchange in EU?

Diving into the crypto universe can be a wild ride, and I'm with you on the ups and downs of platforms like Revolut and Binance. Revolut's simplicity is a win, but it does come with its limitations, right? And Binance, while packed with features, can feel like navigating a maze! 🌌 For trading in the EU, you might want to check out Nexo which is my exchange of choice & very user-friendly as well as robust security and variety. Haven't planned such a review video yet as I am not signed up to all those others, but something to keep in mind for the future 👌 Cheers

    The problem is that what you say about Revolut’s protection level applies to the other brokers you mentioned too. All brokers you mention offer the same 20.000-22.000€ investment protection to EU clients. So, why pick specifically Revolut for this reason?

  • @SmartMoneywithKai

    @SmartMoneywithKai

    3 ай бұрын

    Hi 👋, Well noted 👌 You’re right; the investment protection of around 20,000-22,000€ is pretty standard across many brokers in the EU. When deciding on a broker, this level of protection might not be the sole factor to consider since it’s a common offering. Choosing a broker like Revolut or any other should come down to other features they might offer such as user experience, fees, accessibility, types of investments available, and additional services. For me the biggest red flag with Revolut as a broker is the fact that they don't allow portfolio transfers to other brokers, this is too restrictive. But ultimately there is no right or wrong it has to work for each investor. Cheers
