I, a Dutch national, invest in the stock market through Meesman [0]. Meesman offers the following funds for investing in the European stock market: - MSCI Europe Custom ESG [1] - Barclays Euro Govt. Bond [2] Please note Meesman offers a very limited selection of funds (5 total). As such I am quite sure the Meesman company did good research on what funds best represent certain markets. If you'd like to invest in the European markets, I suggest you take a look at both. These funds can be bought elsewhere as well, of course. --- [0]: https://www.meesman.nl https://www.meesman.nl [1]: https://www.blackrock.com/lu/intermediaries/products/305363/ishares-msci-europe-esg-screened-ucits-etf-fund#holdings https://www.blackrock.com/lu/intermediaries/products/305363/...

I'm also in NL but use DeGiro, and I compared the two back when starting out on my first investments. Maybe I missed something but it seems DeGiro is much cheaper in terms of fees, and it's straightforward to set up a portfolio that's similar to any of Meesman's offerings. For something a single ETF that's globally diversified I buy Vanguard's VWRL monthly, which is also on DeGiro's list of "free" ETFs. The only drawback I've found is it's not automated like with Meesman and it's very "Doe Het Zelf".

EN: DeGiro is a dutch broker which is known for it's low costs, however they can short your stocks unless you're willing to pay an additional fee and they sometimes trade stocks on their own "internal market".

  I've used both DeGiro and Meesman as well in the past. From what I've read funds should be a bit more safe with Meesman compared to DeGiro. For me safety is a prime concern as this will be my retirement money.
