Note
As EU KIID regulation enforcement is quite bonkers (KIID must be in local official language for the asset to be tradable to a citizen of that specific country), they’re still untradable for the large majority of European retail investors on almost every brokerage (except IBKR, where only EN KIID is required).
German retail investors should be the first to gain access, as the DE KIID is already submitted and available on Avantis website. It’s now up to brokers to list the product with necessary documentation.
