What did you invest in? When I briefly checked these things they were mostly targeted to an American audience, with their on average well performing stock markets. EU markets seem to be a lot worse.

Bought 50% S&P500, and of the remaining 1/3 each in Swedish index (my home), 1/3 FTSE (UK), and 1/3 DAX (Germany). If may or may not be perfect, but perfect is the enemy of done.

When selecting funds just sort by price and buy the cheapest ones, as fees (like interest) are a recursive (exponential) function.

In Germany I use Comdirect which is great, in Sweden I used Avanza when I lived there.
