In today's episode, we will speak to my friend The Poor Swiss.
The Poor Swiss is a Swiss (duh!) blogger writing about his pursuit of Financial Independence. One of the ways he tries to achieve this is through investing in the stock markets and on his blog you can find the result of his extensive research on the matter. (Watch out though, you will easily fall down the rabbit hole :)).
When one looks for information in English on investing in the stock markets, one often stumbles upon articles/podcasts of our US friends telling all about investing in low-cost index funds like a Vanguard S&P500 fund. We will discuss if this approach makes sense for us here in Europe, if we simply should switch the S&P500 fund with a European one, or if we should disregard this investing strategy altogether. We also discuss how and where to look for ETF's and share reviews on European online brokers (DeGiro and Interactive brokers).
This episode is for you if you are living in Europe and want to know more about getting started with investing in the stock markets.
Enjoy!
