Where to buy
Platforms for this category
Examples, not recommendations. Check availability in your country and the fees before opening an account. We receive no commission for accounts opened; if a broker listed here becomes a partner, it is clearly marked, under our public rules.
Commodities
In the EU the simplest route is ETCs listed in Europe. Futures need a special account and use leverage.
- WisdomTree Europe · ETC
- CME Group · futures
- ICE · futures
- London Metal Exchange
Forex
Currencies are bought through multi-currency accounts at a bank or broker. Leveraged trading (CFDs) can lose more than you deposit: most retail accounts lose money.
- Interactive Brokers · FX conversion at market rate
- Saxo
- Your bank’s multi-currency account
National housing markets
A country’s housing market cannot be bought directly. The usual indirect routes are listed real-estate funds (REIT ETFs) of a country or region, and the shares of local developers and banks.
- REIT ETFs, bought through the brokers below
- Bucharest Stock Exchange · Romanian developers and banks
Emerging economies
Through exchange-listed country ETFs (for example EEM, INDA, EWZ), bought via a broker. For Romania, the ETF on the BET index, listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange.
- Bucharest Stock Exchange · BET ETF (TVBETETF)
- Tradeville
- BT Capital Partners
- BRK Financial Group
Leverage multiplies losses as well as gains. Most retail CFD accounts lose money; check the risk warning shown by each broker.

This is not investment advice. The radar guarantees no growth. Most assets with explosive potential do not explode, and the move can also be down, with losses of 80–90%. Only invest money you can afford to lose entirely.
