However does the EUR fund have to buy futures contracts to protect against fluctuation? If it has to do this frequently, am I better off over 20-30 years simply changing to USD when I enter the market and back to EUR (if I retire in Europe) and then my fund won’t have to pay for futures contracts as everything is in the same currency?
Generally, because of the estate tax and the dividend withholding tax (even at the lower rate of 15%) mean you are generally best avoiding US based funds.
The below is the ETF I want to invest in, in EUR through the New York Stock Exchange. Is this free from estate tax? It is traded through the NYSE which is in the USA but it is domiciled in Ireland.
NYSE Euronext has 10 different locations, and 4 of them are in USA according to wikipedia.
How do I know which of the locations it is traded from?
Excuse the simple question, but once I see NYSE in the stock exchange name I assume it is based in USA.
To your first question, answer is YES.
To answer your second question, answer is also YES.
I am a non-US investor and also following the Bogleheads thread.
