One question for the forum: I have been looking at Corner Trader and IB for future investments. IB is US-based, so is there any impact in terms of tax or other footprint in the US if you are not US-resident? I believe that there are some complications in inheritance tax if you hold US securities (so it makes sense to have US exposure through Ireland-based ETFs), but if your broker is based in the US, are there any possible other problems?

It was already discussed: here and here and here. To sum it up: IB + US-based ETFs is the cheapest retail option in Switzerland and US estate tax is not an issue for Swiss residents.
