International fund platform

Hi,
Im looking for a suitable fund platform where I can invest in Euro currency. I tried Keytrade bank in Belgium but had my application declined and no reason given.
TD investing is another one I looked at but the maintenance fees are excessive if I were not an active trader. I prefer just to invest in a fund and hold for long term.
Can anyone recommend and international fund platforms/brokers??


Thanks
A

    I would look at:

    Interactive Brokers
    Saxo Markets
    DeGiro

    They all have their pluses and minuses.

    Note that it doesn't make a huge difference which currency you invest in, since once you've bought funds/shares/whatever you no longer hold currency. The only difference is the exchange fee in and out (about 0.5% each way if you do it right). The tax advantage of an ISA/pension/whatever can easily cover that.
