German trading platform

I use Hargreaves Lansdowne to trade as it is safe so I know my money is safe with them.  They offer a large choice of funds to invest in and to trade, particularly ETF.

My cousin says she want to invest in ETF as well but she lives in Germany so on the off chance, does anyone know of a similar platform to Hargreaves Lansdown in Germany?

I trade in ISF and VWRL (FTSE 100 and FTSE-All World) indices, so anyone happen to know which ETF would be similar to these in Germany?  Although I don't think the FTSE100 is going to be appropriate for her and an equivalent German index replication fund may be better.

    I can't read German but that looks like etf offered by vanguard.  Great.  What about an equivalent platform to HL?  Can you find that?

    I think perhaps you need to suggest a search engine and AI to your cousin who presumably does speak/understand German.

    Tell them about the platform found, and suggest they have a look for other, similar options available to them.

    Your cousin would also do well to investigate the tax situation in Germany as there many be tax efficient equivalents of ISAs or SIPPs that could be used for investments
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
