I'll take the first pass at these.

First of all, though, there is **nothing "magic" about index funds**. • Some funds are actively managed -- they require an Advisor to search for stocks to buy, decide how much and when to buy, when to sell again, and so forth. This level of management costs money. • Others don't have an Advisor, they purchase a "recipe" from an index provider, and buy when the index changes, and sell when the index changes -- not often, in either case. (They have an Investment Manager who implements the buy and sell (and share creation) steps, but not an Advisor.) • But, if the market goes down, so do index funds -- the same as ANY OTHER fund.

* Platforms: can't help you with European platforms. Try searching. * Of course, you can buy and sell, and transfer new cash in and old cash out. If a fund closes (or gets bought by somebody else), you'll know about it in advance. * Bank acct: *Dedicated* isn't necessary. But, having electronic interchanges with ***a*** bank account is very convenient. * Yes, set it up in advance. How else will you put the first batch of cash, INTO the account? * Expense ratios are important, but actual returns are more so. Would you intentionally buy an inferior product of some other type, just because it was cheaper? Sometimes, yes; but you wouldn't make cheapness your primary criterion. * Also remember: BY LAW (OK, in the US) "returns" MUST be quoted **after expenses**. It's a rookie mistake to subtract them -again- yourself. * Taxes: **exactly the same** as **any other fund**. Again, index funds are not "magic".
