I live in France and my broker is Interactive Brokers.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to buy those ETFs since PRIIPS regulations came into force in Europe on January 01, 2018.
I thought the required document (KID) would be issued by the companies selling those ETFs. This has been nearly 2 years now and I'm losing hope.
I'm looking for a way to either:
• Find ETFs that track the same index and have low fees that I could buy in Europe
• Find a good regulated broker that would allow EU citizen to buy those products.
I wonder why the KIDs documents haven't been issued yet?
