What are UCITS ETFs?

UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) are investment funds regulated under the European Union framework to protect investors. They offer unique benefits compared to US-listed ETFs.

Key Benefits of UCITS ETFs

Tax advantages:

  • Equity UCITS ETFs: 15% withholding tax on dividends (vs. 30% for US ETFs)
  • Fixed Income UCITS ETFs: 0% withholding tax (vs. 30% for US ETFs)

Example:

When a $100 dividend is paid out:

  • US ETF → $30 tax (30%), you receive $70
  • UCITS ETF → $15 tax (15%), you receive $85
  • Fixed Income UCITS ETF → $0 tax, you receive $100

This means higher net dividend income for long-term investors.

Strong protection:

  • Strict EU regulatory oversight
  • High governance standards
  • Enhanced investor protection

Global access

  • Exposure to international markets and asset classes
  • Easy diversification across regions and sectors

Can I trade with any amount?

  • Yes! We support fractional trading for Scheduled UCITS, starting from just $50.
  • This allows you to invest flexibly without needing to buy a full unit of the ETF.
