Ok.. there was a confusion. I'm a US person, so I cannot hold this fund, I wishTedSwippet wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 5:52 pm
I am not sure I follow you?
If you are asking if you yourself could buy this particular UCITS ETF in a US broker, the answer is that you perhaps could if you choose the right broker (that might be Interactive Brokers?), but you definitely should not if you are a US citizen or any other form of US taxable person. If you hold this ETF while inside the US's vice-like tax grip, the PFIC tax regime will make you envy the dead at tax time.
It's a decent choice for non-US persons, though. I just picked it out in response to an earlier comment about general higher TERs in the EU and UK, as a random example of a case where the TER of an EU domiciled fund is lower than that of a comparable US domiciled one.
First FATCA, and then, even if FATCA gets ever repealed, if you have to hold it under a PFIC regime is a bad option anyway.
BTW, in Europe (for non-US friends), I recommend accumulation funds (Vanguard have a few since a couple of years ago). I don't think there are accumulation ETFs, and all the brokers I asked they charge you a commission just for holding the ETF !
