Trade Republic
Record your Trade Republic ETFs in Index Balance and get TWRR analysis, drawdown and projections that Trade Republic does not offer.
Trade Republic is a German neo-broker operating in several European countries, very popular for its simplicity, €1 per trade commissions, and especially its automatic ETF savings plans (Sparpläne), which allow recurring investments of small amounts without additional commissions. It is one of the most used platforms by young European investors starting with index investing. The platform offers access to a wide selection of UCITS ETFs, including the most popular for passive management portfolios: iShares Core MSCI World (IWDA), Vanguard FTSE All-World (VWCE) and emerging markets ETFs. Its cash account remunerated at the ECB reference rate makes it particularly attractive as a savings account alternative. Currently, automatic import from Trade Republic is not available in Index Balance. You can manually record your ETF purchases to obtain additional analysis: TWRR return, historical drawdown, Sharpe Ratio, comparison with the MSCI World and customisable long-term projections. Automatic import from Trade Republic is on the Index Balance roadmap. If you are a user and want this integration prioritised, you can request it in the suggestions section.
