Buying Shares

Quitelife

Bought shares years ago in local bank but they dont do it anymore.

If you wanted to buy one off 5K of shares in a company where is best place to go ? , not interested in trading just a one off purchase which id hopefully sell in 5/10 years time .

DeGiro?

Davy?

Two comments: the last poster was correct in principle about diversification. However if you have just €5k to invest then the scope for diversification is somewhat limited due to the costs (time researching and broker's fees) which could swallow up much of the returns. Secondly while ETFs are in many respects a good idea, the "deemed disposal" rule for Capital Gains can be a real pain. You need to research this a little.

All I know is that Davy charge a quarterly fee even for an execution-only arrangement ,which would make them uneconomic for you. So I suppose degiro might be better. BTW for online dealing, there are no share certs as far as I know, but you probably should have pdf of contract notes when buying and selling in case you are so lucky as to make chargeable capital gains.

The shares you buy via an execution only broker are usually in the name of a nominees account and there is an extra charge for deliver of the share certificate as they will have to be registered with the company in your name first.
