It’s not your broker. It’s not your tech. And it’s definitely not you.

This is Part 1 of our brand-new series: Don’t Take American Investment Advice if You Live in Europe.

Over the next 6 episodes, we’ll break down the traps, the tax risks, and the smarter alternatives every European investor needs to know.
