No, risk of US Estate taxes too great for US ETFs we use Canadian ETFs to achieve the same effects. Much cheaper than U.K. investment trusts.
you can ignore currency in an equity portfolio, it’s a red herring
Apologies if it appears that way, not my intention. The OP is looking for investment vehicles for retirees, (F&C thanks to your contribution and potential non-EU ETF route thanks to marc). I can associate with the post as my parents are in a similar position and I think it's reasonable to ask questions of a poster that seems to have a lot of knowledge on the subject. That's why I asked you to further my knowledge and I think it might also benefit the OP to get more information around various IT's.Any chance you could stop trying to de-rail this thread?

Sent you a message with contact detailsHi Marc okay that is good to know. Can you give me your firms contact/cost details? From a quick google check on F&C it seems their costs are less than 1% annually. Are the Canadian ETF's considerably cheaper?
A global equity portfolio could be constructed using Canadian ETFs with a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.25% (or lower).Are the Canadian ETF's considerably cheaper?
