Dear community, Hello to everybody. I live in CH and got inspired by your experience and wanted to invest in US market. After check big US broker companies (Schwab, IB, TD Ameritrade etc.) it appear that it is not possible anymore to buy US ETF’s for non US citizens. I’m interested in VTI. Are there any other good alternatives where I can open an account and build my low fee portfolio? Thanks in advance for suggestions and tips. Best regards, Peter. ---
