+1 on DeGiro. When I moved from Goodbody a few years ago, it cost circa E10 per position to move in. All going well now. Suggest you look up some reviews of the service, and if you want to sign up, I'm sure a few of us with accounts can share a signup code that will give you and us E20 free...

I just had a look at my account, now I'm on a custody account so maybe I'm different to standard accounts, but the fee appears to be €2.50 per annum per exchange. It's given as: 01/02/2018 18:01:17 31/01/2018 DEGIRO Exchange Connection Fee 2018 (Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) - ASX) -EUR...

If it's a US company, I'd tend to buy in USD given the option, due to currency exchanges. No greater science to my feeling. For tax, if you fill out the W-8BEN form (I think that's what it's called), it should partially deduct the tax on dividends same as when you were in Canada, and then you...

Your numbers look good - I did a similar exercise a few months ago, and found in general that for lower capital growth / higher dividend returns, the EU UCITS scenario works best, whereas for high capital growth / low dividend returns, the US ETF works better...

I use Yahoo Finance - find it very useful. And there's an app for one's phone also which syncs, and is fast to use. Morningstar is very handy, but I noticed some oddities last week when I logged in - it showed me some Spanish guys account. Weird. Maybe try re-logging in.

Why not invest in a REIT if you want exposure to property?

I haven't really used it myself, but morningstar seems to have one: http://tools.morningstar.co.uk/uk/cefscreener/default.aspx?Site=UK&Universe=FCGBR%24%24ALL&LanguageId=en-GB

I share your understanding about the distribution income being taxed, and CGT on disposal. At least, that's how I've been conducting fo rthe past few years... With the stamp duty on purchase...it's the same as anything purchased on the ISE. From reading this last year, there is an exemption if...

Is there a preclusion against buying property abroad under this approach? Could I for example buy a holiday home somewhere, get it managed locally, and have 8 weeks of the year to use it?

And that's the fees taken care of so!

Anyone notice this about UK UCITS becoming something called AIFMD funds? Might be the solution to all problems?:

Could definitely see this happening - it could be as sly as requiring PRSI contributions when retired to maintain health care eligibility, with means testing to define the rate of payment. I'm hopeful this initiative gains steam, so I can get my pension the hell out of Ireland...

I've been thinking about this a lot lately - if it was framed in a way to say that the current housing crisis is partially due to the tax regime, it might fall on a sympatheitc ear. e.g. current Irish tax policy discourages people from saving for the future using equities in the stock markets...

Hello there, I'm looking for insight about I fund that is launching soon, and how to purchase it. This was noted on a website I track: and it sounds like a great portion of a pension account. everyone uses energy, and the trend is to move to cleaner energy sources. So I eventually track down...

I've moved to Davy's execution only PRSA in the last few months so have some experience with it now. 1) What percentage of fees in total would you expect to pay per annum on ETF’s listed on the ISE? Is it just the TER + 0.75%? Correct just the TER + 0.75%. The TER is taken from the funds...
