    Is there a Bitcoin ETF option in Ireland?

    I've had a lump sum managed with Invesco for the past 11 years. It's mostly a Passive Equity Fund, and the returns are just under 9% overall, which is fine.

    I rang them in 2016 to see if I could move part of my fund into Bitcoin and Ethereum.... they said that wasn't an option which of course is a shame.

    Now that Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF's are available, in Canada anyway, can I have part of my fund moved in here?

    I'm not sure if they can invest in foreign exchanges.

    Your cumulative lump sum gain in 11 years was 9%??

    Is that not a bit disappointing?

    Just under 9% per year, not total.

    If it's standalone savings, as previous poster said, Degiro has options.

    If it's pension money, as far as I know Aviva are the only ones that do it in Ireland
