Read →Choose a core ETF (UCITS)
A beginner goal: pick one solid, boring core ETF that you can hold for years — and avoid “collecting ETFs”.
Checklist
- UCITS (European structure, KID available)
- Index: broad, diversified (avoid narrow bets early)
- Costs: TER + tracking difference (not TER alone)
- Accumulating vs distributing (often tax- and behavior-relevant)
- Fund size & liquidity (avoid tiny/illiquid funds)
- Replication: physical vs synthetic (understand, don’t fear-monger)
