Invest on eTrade Platform vs Physical Broker

[jaydequinn]

I'm looking to start investing money for medium to long term goals. I already own a house with my partner and we are both taking full advantage of share schemes we have access to in work (both blue chip companies). On top of this we have increased our pension contributions (I have mine maxed and she is at a level she is comfortable with).

We have been to a financial advisor and he has advised investing in the Zurich Prisma 4 fund through him. We are trying to weigh up this vs investing in an ETF (like the S&P 500) through something like eTorro or Degiro. Be good to get your feedback on what you can see as the pro's and cons of both options. The first obvious one is fees which I am aware of but is there other things to consider here.

Thanks in advance.

@jaydequinn Type “ETF Ireland” into google. Or “ETF” into the search bar for this sub.
