I was under the impression that if I bought in the UK I could keep these ETF's in a crest account which is nearly as good as holding the certificates, whereas if I bought in Europe that would not be the case.
I had a look at euronext and there seems to be a product there called EasyETF Eurostoxx 50 with charges of 0.35% per annum.
Would I be able to buy these through an Irish stockbroker ?
And if so how secure would they be ? - I would not want to lose them if somebody went bust along the way
