This is the cost that a platform charges to allow you to buy or sell shares.<\/li><li><strong>Foreign exchange fees.<\/strong> These are the fees the provider charges you to change your pounds to Euros (and back) so that you can buy and sell German stock.<\/li><\/ul><h3>How to find the best performing German stocks<\/h3><p>There are a few ways to go about this. You can use the details of assets listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange to check how various stocks have been doing, though this may be a bit of a fiddle and it\u2019s likely best if you already have specific stocks in mind. Alternatively, investment research and analysis websites often publish round-ups and recommendations of the best stocks to invest in within different regions and sectors, so a Google search should help.<\/p><p>You can also use any online tools on offer from your investment platform or tips from your broker.<\/p><p>When you review publications of the \u201cbest performing stocks\u201d, make sure you take a look at how they\u2019ve determined \u201cbest\u201d when making a decision. It may or may not align with your goals. For example, for you the \u201cbest performing\u201d stock might be one that delivers consistently solid returns and decent dividends, rather than one where performance has been stellar over the short-term but is more volatile over the long term.<\/p><h4>How do German stocks perform?<\/h4><p>As you can\u2019t directly invest in Germany, we have used the German DAX index fund which comprises of 30 major German blue chip companies listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange. This allows you to get a good idea on how well the stock exchange is performing over time.<\/p><iframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-jcTBk\" title=\"The DAX performance chart\" width=\"100%\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/jcTBk\/1\/\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><h3>What are the alternatives to investing directly in German stocks?<\/h3><p>There are a couple of alternatives to buying German stocks outright, which give you exposure to the German market in very different ways.<\/p><ol><li><strong>Buy German stock ETFs.<\/strong> ETFs \u2013 or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/invest-in\/exchange-traded-funds-etfs\">exchange traded funds<\/a>, to give them their full name \u2013 are effectively ready-made portfolios of multiple assets. Rather than having to buy each asset individually, investing in an ETF gives you exposure to a slice of each asset in one fell swoop. You can buy and sell ETFs on stock markets on the same way as you would buy and sell stocks and shares. For example, you could invest in an ETF that tracks the performance of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/invest-in\/stock-market-indices\/dax\">DAX<\/a>, a stock market index that tracks the 30 major companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.<\/li><li><strong>Trade in derivatives.<\/strong> This is effectively where you \u201cbet\u201d on a company\u2019s future performance, through spread betting or CFDs (contracts for difference). They work slightly differently, as we explain in our full guide to <a>CFDs vs spread betting<\/a>, but they both come with a high chance of losing money and should only be considered by experienced investors.<\/li><\/ol><h3>What should I consider when buying German stocks?<\/h3><p>When you\u2019re thinking about buying German stocks, most of the considerations are exactly the same as if you were buying UK stocks, with a couple of nuances thrown in. Some of the things to think about are:<\/p><ul><li><strong>What\u2019s your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/investment-strategies\">investment strategy<\/a>?<\/strong> Your intended timelines and goals should influence both whether investing in German stocks is right for you, plus which specific stocks you choose. For example, with longer investment timescales you may be able to afford to buy higher-risk, potentially higher-reward assets.<\/li><li><strong>What\u2019s your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/types-of-investment-risk\">risk appetite<\/a>?<\/strong> As with your investment strategy, this will impact whether you opt for shares in more stable, reliable companies, or in smaller start-ups with the potential for huge growth but also a higher risk of failure. Make sure you take this into account when you\u2019re analysing various stocks\u2019 performance.<\/li><li><strong>Are you happy to take on foreign exchange risk<\/strong>? Investing in stocks that are listed in foreign currencies, including German stocks, will mean (to a certain extent) putting yourself at the mercy of currency fluctuations, which may not work in your favour if the pound is weak.<\/li><li><strong>Do you have the time and inclination do research companies thoroughly<\/strong>? Investing directly in stocks involves more effort than investing in funds, for example, as you must do your due diligence on each individual company before investing. Plus you\u2019ll need to monitor performance closely to decide the right time to sell if a stock no longer aligns with your strategy.<\/li><\/ul><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><div class=\"luna-card__block\"><div class=\"u-grid\"><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/1 no-padding-bottom\"><h3 class=\"has-padding-bottom-x-small\">Is it worth investing in German stocks?<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/6@s\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"luna-avatar luna-avatar--large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Danny-Butler.jpg\" alt=\"Danny Butler\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Danny-Butler.jpg?fit=180 180w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Danny-Butler.jpg?fit=360 360w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Danny-Butler.jpg?fit=600 600w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Danny-Butler.jpg?fit=900 900w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Danny-Butler.jpg?fit=1200 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p><div class=\"has-padding-top-small text-x-small\"><em>Finder insurance expert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/author\/dannybutler\">Danny Butler<\/a> answers <\/em><\/div><\/div><div class=\"u-grid__col u-10\/12@s no-padding-bottom\"><p>Let\u2019s start with a slightly broader question: is it worth investing in overseas markets generally? The answer to that is a resounding yes. You\u2019ll often hear investment experts waxing lyrical about the importance of a diverse portfolio and \u2013 alongside buying diverse types of asset (stocks vs bonds vs property, for example) and in diverse sectors \u2013 investing internationally is a good way to achieve this.<\/p><p>In terms of Germany specifically, well it\u2019s the largest economy in Europe (just ahead of the UK). It\u2019s also the base of some major global businesses, notably car manufacturing giants such as BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen. So if you\u2019re keen on investing in the automotive sector, Germany is one of the obvious places to look.<\/p><p>Long story short, the choice of where to put your money is yours. But German stocks are worth throwing into the mix for consideration. Or, if you need a little help deciding, consider speaking to a professional financial adviser who will be able to recommend the right options for your circumstances.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/article><h3>Pros and cons of investing in German stocks<\/h3><div class=\"fin-pros-cons\">\n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--check-circle\">\n                                    <li>Investing in overseas stocks helps diversify your portfolio<\/li>\n                                    <li>Exposure to some of the world's leading firms, including major car manufacturers such as BMW<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    \n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Cons<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--x-circle\">\n                                    <li>You'll typically incur a forex charge<\/li>\n                                    <li>Exchange rate risk and fees could dampen your returns<\/li>\n                                    <li>Not every investment platform offers access to German markets<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>Investing in German stocks could help diversify your investment portfolio and give you exposure to some major global companies.
