DEGIRO
Record your DEGIRO ETFs in Index Balance and get advanced analysis: TWRR return, maximum drawdown, Sharpe Ratio and free projections.
DEGIRO is one of the most popular online brokers in Europe, especially among investors seeking access to ETFs with low commissions. Founded in the Netherlands, it operates in more than 15 European countries and offers a selection of UCITS ETFs with no purchase commission within its selected ETF programme, making it particularly attractive for passive investors making periodic contributions. For European boglehead investors, DEGIRO is a common choice for accessing ETFs such as the Vanguard FTSE All-World (VWCE), iShares Core MSCI World (IWDA) or iShares Core MSCI EM IMI (EMIM). Its interface is simple and its mobile app makes portfolio management efficient. Currently, automatic import from DEGIRO is not available in Index Balance, but you can manually record your ETF purchases by ISIN. Once transactions are recorded, you have access to comprehensive analysis: TWRR return, historical drawdown, Sharpe Ratio and customisable projections. Automatic import from DEGIRO is on the Index Balance roadmap. DEGIRO offers account activity export in CSV format that will enable this integration in the future.
Frequently asked questions
Can I automatically import my DEGIRO portfolio?
Not currently. Automatic import from DEGIRO is on the roadmap. DEGIRO allows exporting account activity history in CSV, which will facilitate this integration. For now, record your transactions manually in Index Balance.
Is DEGIRO suitable for index ETFs?
Yes. DEGIRO is particularly valued for its selection of commission-free ETFs and generally low commissions. It is a very popular choice among European passive investors who opt for ETFs rather than investment funds.
Is DEGIRO available across Europe?
DEGIRO operates in more than 15 European countries, including Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland and Poland, among others. Since 2021 it has been part of the flatexDEGIRO group.
Do DEGIRO ETFs have the same tax advantages as index funds?
This depends on your country of residence. In some European countries, ETF gains are taxable upon sale, while certain investment fund structures allow tax deferral on transfers. Check the specific tax treatment in your country before choosing between ETFs and investment funds.
