I wish to purchase a number of ETFs that track a number of indexes but am running into trouble selecting the funds and a broker that deals in them.
Problem 1 - I keep coming up against funds where their information websites say you have to be domiciled in the UK, switzerland, france, US etc - this is the case for iShares and Lyxor for example - and yet both of these providers are mentioned in AAM, as an Irish resident am I ok to purchase these or not?
Problem 2 - I have a TD Waterhouse account (which I may switch soon) and am finding it impossible to identify index tracking ETFs with it (actually by random luck I just found a japanese one - so they are there). Can anyone point out a straightforward good method to research/identify index tracking ETFs, I have spent a good few hours looking today but I guess I need tips on where to look and what for.
Also is there an online broker that anyone has found particularly good for dealing with ETFs. I notice that keytrade have tracker funds specifically listed on their products page, can anyone tell me if their interface makes it easy to identify them and if they have a good range on offer.
Regards,
D
