Investing in Europe

[cayale]

Folks, an uncle of mine lives in Switzerland, is a retail investor, and wants to find a mutual fund that adheres to value principles (good businesses, strong balance sheets, reasonable prices, etc.), with the intent of buying about 5000 francs a month and cost averaging in over a period of years.  Is there a low fee way to access this?  I'll research the funds for him but don't know if there are discount brokers, if there are good funds available to retail investors or if we can find something that invests with a focus on his functional currencies as opposed to USD. 

 

If Switzerland is not an option, access through Denmark would work, too.  Thanks for any recommendations!

I don't have any expirience with the Swiss exchange. So I can't make any recomendations. But this might be a good place to start your search. http://www.six-swiss-exchange.com/index_en.html

cayale,

 

For starters, you could take a look here: https://www.nordnet.dk/mux/web/etf/oversikt.html . It's possible to use the dropdowns as filters. Under "categories", [in Danish : "Kategorier"] it seems a few possibilities states "value", and futhermore you can work with your geografical scope also.

Not sure if it's open or possible to dollar cost average but I'd look at Argos (Argos Argonaut) - they're from Switzerland and seem to have a very good track record.
