Hi, since there is no community dedicated for investing from EU out there I will ask here!

How do you approach investing for retirement?

All the US-boycotting movements suggests avoiding ETFs with US exposure but it also limits opportunities. From other hand we don’t like major corporations here on fediverse so I shouldn’t hope and profit from their growth. I guess euro stocks are more aligned with buy from EU movement and small cap stocks ETF may be more ethical choice. But I’m still not ready to do that move, as I have most of my savings in EUNL (Core MSCI World). I also have some exposure to gold and Apple specifically.

Or do you simply not pay attention to investing in stocks and more to investing in community/friends/skills?

I would love to read some your takes 😊

    Depending on your country, pensions based investment accounts can SIGNIFICANTLY reduce your tax burden, but the funds are not accessible until you reach state pension age.

    I would advise thinking about how far away your retirement is and the low-risk indexes available to such accounts, on top of your personal, regular trading account.

      Yes this is super important to use these accounts!! My stocks are bought with it, but I am still able to choose from multiple ETFs here :)
