About Directa

Directa is an Italian online broker founded in Turin in 1995, regulated by CONSOB. The company was one of the first online brokers in Italy and has over 25 years of experience in direct market access. Directa offers trading in stocks, ETFs, futures, options, bonds, and CFDs on Italian and European exchanges. A special feature of Directa is the Regime Amministrato, a tax advantage for Italian investors where the broker automatically handles tax settlement. Additionally, Directa offers three different fee models: Fixed, Variable, and Degressive, allowing traders to choose the model that best fits their trading volume. Directa primarily targets Italian traders and investors who value direct market access, flexible fee models, and automatic tax settlement. The platforms appear somewhat visually dated but offer extensive functionality for experienced traders.

Directa FAQ

What is the Regime Amministrato at Directa?

The Regime Amministrato is an Italian tax system where the broker automatically calculates and withholds capital gains tax. Investors do not need to file separate tax returns for stock market gains, significantly reducing administrative burden.

Which fee models does Directa offer?

Directa offers three models: Fixed (from €1.50 per trade), Variable (0.19% of order volume), and Degressive (decreasing fees with higher trading volume). Traders can switch between models at any time.

Can I trade options on Directa?

Yes, Directa offers trading of IDEM options on the Italian derivatives exchange. Additionally, futures on Italian and European indices are available.

Is Directa suitable for German investors?

Directa is primarily focused on the Italian market. German investors can theoretically open an account, but German-language support is lacking and the Regime Amministrato only applies to Italian taxpayers.
