I am based in Belgium and can’t buy many of the ETF’s on US exchanges (even with Interactive Brokers) due to regulatory restrictions. A second problem are the very high taxes (0,35% for each transaction).

Would there be an alternative by buying the “equivalents” of the ETF’s under the form of futures (low transaction cost and no tax) or event options. But of course not for every ETF exist an “equivalent” future and if you want to invest e.g. 500.000 euro you have problems to match the % ‘s of the different instrument to emulate a specific strategy.

Could such a strategy by introduced by Logical invest for EU citizens?
