Hi @Richard.W, a question for me and for all those people requestig non-UCITS compliant ETFs.
I find its generally quite easy to check if an ETFs is UCITS compliant, you just google it and check the name on its website or comparison sites such as justetf.com, morningstar, etc.
However, how do you generally find equivalent, UCITS compliant ETFs?
I understand that not all of them will have an equivalent, but for those that have an equivalent.
As you say, a good place to look is on justetf.com. If you let that website know your location then it will only show you the ETFs that are UCITS compliant. You can then search by strategy, market, etc. I also use www.ishares.com/uk. They have 416 equity ETFs, and cover almost anything you can think of. The name of an equivalent ETF is often close to the same name as the non-compliant US one.
To check to see how equivalent two ETFs are, I sometimes just look at the list of top 10 holdings.
