Why you can't buy SCHA in Europe
US-domiciled ETFs like SCHAdon't publish the EU “KID” disclosure document required by the PRIIPs regulation, so European and other non-US brokers block the order. It isn't illegal — you simply buy the UCITS equivalent (IDP6) instead. UCITS funds are also more tax-efficient for non-US investors: lower US dividend withholding and no US estate-tax exposure.
