Have a Degiro a/c with over 40k across 9 stocks. I like the platform and low fees but am minded not to increase my exposure given that the Dutch supervisory agency only covers up to 20k per account. I have tried to find more details about Degiro but such reporting as I have found tends only to show how fast the company is growing and how many new a/cs they have opened in last six months. The reassurances that the company itself offers regarding segregation of client a/cs I am inclined to discount as the type of thing that a fast growing super discount broker would say ... I can find no independent verification.
Do any AAMers have links of a regulatory supervisor that would reassure a Degiro a/c holder?
Wanting to purchase more shares but not increase my Degiro exposure - or pay exorbitant Irish broker fees - I have come across the fact that many large US companies - Coca Cola, Walmart for eg. - allow direct share purchases. L'Oreal in France offers the same possibility. In most cases, the commissions seem to be very low and the schemes allow regular feeds of small amounts, ie. deliberately tailored to small scale retail investors.
Has any AAMer experience of direct share purchase? Are there many FTSE, ISEQ or EUStoxx50 companies that have such schemes?
Tks, Harold
