What broker do you recommend for passive ETF/index fund investing?
I’m trying to choose a broker for long-term, passive investing in broad market index funds/ETFs.
My plan is to invest around $5k upfront, then $300–500 every month.
I’d prefer to invest in USD, although EUR is perfectly fine if it makes more sense.
I’m currently considering:
Degiro – I’ve had an account for a while but never really used it. It was my original choice, but after reading quite a few mixed reviews here, I figured I’d ask before committing. 😄
IBKR – Seems like the strongest option overall. Good reputation, interest on uninvested cash, wide range of investments, and it appears to be the go-to recommendation for many people.
Trading 212 – Don’t know much about it, but it seems solid. It offers a large selection of stocks, although I’ll probably only be buying ETFs.
Are there any other brokers I should consider?
For those of you investing for the long term in Europe, which broker did you choose, and why?
