You can start investing from the Netherlands in the same way as you’d start investing from almost anywhere in the world.
I recommend Interactive Brokers for buying stocks and Kraken as a crypto exchange. Note: there are other options, but these are my preferences after a long and ongoing evaluation.
Do a SEPA transfer and place a buy order.
That’s it from operational perspective.
Now for the difficult part (that has nothing to do with the Netherlands):
- What do you want to own in the long-term
- Can you detach emotionally and sleep well in times of volatility
- Articulate your goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon
- Determine your asset allocation
- Commit to an investment strategy and stay disciplined
And if you have problems answering any of those, I suggest reading these free series:
And an extra resource: Investment Taxes in the Netherlands.
The simplified summary for the tax system is: you’ll need to report all your account balances as of 1st of January of the fiscal year and you’ll be taxed as a percentage of that.
