How to start to invest in Vanguard ETF? Also which broker to go to to open an account?

I am interested in the Vanguard ETF. I read in some of the answers that there are some taxes involved (30%) if we were to invest in the US stock exhange. And hence it it preferred to find something similar in the London stock exchange?

Also which broker to go to to open an account?

You didn't specify, which Vanguard ETF, but I suppose You meant VOO (SP500),

yes with U.S. domiciled ones there withholding tax (30% or reduced 15% according to mutual tax aggreements, Form W-8BEN needed for agreed on reductions).

I can safely say: Vanguard has so many diverse and beautiful ETFs, some are not so well known but also relatively inexpensive for their successful and largely succesful:

VT

VOO

VGT

VNQ

Well suited to build up a diversified U.S. or even global portfolio.

Longterm (10 y) price chart for comparison here, excellent results, of course due to the generally favorable U.S. market development:

I just opened an account with TDameritrade. It allows you to invest in any US stocks and ETF. And yes there will be 30% tax on dividend gain for US stocks.

Hi you can open interactive broker account to invest in it. For the dividend you received will have 30% tax but none on capital gain.

Hi Finance Gurus, My 10 years old son is interested in investing . For the start i want to teach him how to invest in US ETF’s. Is there a way to open a minor account in IBKR or similar platforms ?

I am thinking of starting some low risk investments, more for purpose of getting long run dividends. What's the first step? Is it just going to a bank and say I wanna open a trading account?
