Against every other broker we publish that has a verified figure for the same field. Brokers whose figure we could not verify are left out rather than plotted at zero.

Strengths and limitations

How eToro (US) scores

Under our default weights. Individual rankings re-weight these same sub-scores, which is why eToro (US) sits in different positions on different pages.

Safety and regulation7/10 · weighted 30%

Active SEC-registered broker-dealer (8-70212) and SIPC member, so custody protection matches the rest of the set. Scored lowest of the non-enforcement firms purely on operating history — it holds the highest CRD number here, meaning the shortest US registration record.

Fees and total cost8/10 · weighted 30%

$0 stock and ETF commissions with no per-contract options fee for US users, and $0 withdrawal fees. Held below the leaders because crypto costs a flat 1%, which is expensive against dedicated venues, and several fee categories were not published on the page we read.

Investment selection5/10 · weighted 22%

Stocks, ETFs, options, crypto and fractional shares only. No mutual funds, bonds or futures — the narrowest published range in our set.

Account types and features3/10 · weighted 18%

Individual taxable accounts only. No IRA, joint, custodial or trust accounts identified, which excludes retirement investing entirely.
