My retirement fund is going to be switched from mostly iShares to mostly Xtrackers and Amundi soon. It was a composite fund of multiple American operated ETFs, one of them US specific too. It'll now be a fund of multiple European operated ETFs, none of them US specific.

I can't choose a single specific ETF myself, but I can choose different groupings of ETFs. The funds are run by local banks. I just wish it took effect quicker tbh, because one of those current ETFs for sure holds Tesla

Thank you! This was something I had not thought about. I will have to do some reshuffling of my portfolio.

Legal & General has got to be one of the most ominous sounding names ever

But they have a cute fun umbrella, they can’t be baddies.

Now if you’ll excuse me I have to download some shows off of XTracker.

I hadn't even considered this. I think I have most of my ETFs with BMO (Canadian), but I might have some iShare's, too. Thanks for the reminder!
