These are the different ways that you can buy US ETFs.

1) Open a brokerage account with a non-European address.

2) Open a brokerage account with a non-European company.

3) Get an exemption (treated as "elective professional client").

4) Buy US-ETFs indirectly through options.

5) Hire a financial management firm that has unrestricted access to the US financial markets.

6) Open an account with a European address, but with an Asian broker, for example Monex Boom in Hong Kong.

Do you know of a financial management firm? And do you trust them?
