An alternative to an ETF to avoid 8 year deemed disposal?

[irishfinanceguy]

My T212 app has an option for transfering the portfolio.

there are sources online saying you can't transfer to ibkr for example, I agree if they sort issues like this it becomes a lot more competitive

other sources saying not at all? I wonder what the truth is and the limitation?

Is it possible to transfer fractions of shares from one broker to another?

Another reason for holding fewer shares in your portfolio. Transferring 10 is a lot less work than transferring 50 , unless it's automated.

Yes thats why its an issue to avoid players that don't allow/heavily restrict it

How do people hedge the Eur/USD currency risk from investing in dollar denominated stocks when doing this?
Some ETFs seem to do this for you (e.g. the iShares S&P500 Eur Hedged UCITS, not recommending this as haven't done any research on it, it's just one that popped up).


Just looking over the last 20 years the US dollar has been worth anything in the range of 1.03 euro down to 0.65 euro.

Ignore all that , all of the top performing American companies have a global reach , makes no odds that they are denominated in dollars

Rather than having to setup a pie, what about buying an unleveraged CFD ETF? This would be subject to CGT, rather than exit tax, while mimicking the underlying ETF's performance.

CFDs are inherently riskier than the security they are based on.

If your ETF provider goes bust, you still own a share of the underlying assets. If your CFD provider goes bust, you own nothing.
