I’ll reply one more time:
Everyone should look for a broker who
- is reliable
- suits their own needs
- handles matters correctly with the tax authorities
- handles tax matters for the client at a level suitable for the client
It’s worth paying attention to:
- customer service
- reporting
- software
- the broker’s primary target group, e.g., whether the benefits are aimed at high trading volumes or long-term saving
I would also pay attention to values. Is the pricing model neutral? There have been stories that women trade less often and hold stocks longer. If pricing favors large trading volumes, does the broker favor young men over long-term savers and women?
In these times, European identity is also a value. The broker’s domicile can have an impact, as can which country and bank collects our small payments.
