Hi @QUANTIJS nice selection of ETF.
Would you prefer the $JEPQ over $JEGP (JGPI)?

And what do you think about DEGIRO, preferred over others such as Trading 212 in regards to security and fees?

@Marty289 I use DEGIRO for my pension account because they allow me to manage it myself. I was at Rabobank before and they charge 0.69% on top of index fund costs, while they just put your money in an index fund. My normal/taxable DEGIRO account I find too expensive for USD or stocks that are not in their core-selection (1 euro fees). I was paying like 10 euro for fees+conversion for getting USD stocks. So I've recently moved to IBKR for my normal/taxable account, their fees are like 1.25 euro for EU stocks and 0.35 dollar for US stocks. IBKR also allows easier overnight trading, trailing stoploss, reinvest/drip dividend, etc.... At IBKR I've also setup a family account to learn my kids how to invest. JEPQ and JEGP are both new for me, but I bought more JEPQ to get more upside potential, because I have already a very defensive portfolio with REITs.

@QUANTIJS Alright, minimizing operation cost makes a lot of sense.
I have some experience with DEGIRO, Trading 212 and Scalable Capital.
Looking for a reliable broker with predictable and low cost and that isn’t as easy as I hoped it would be.
