Everyone has their own investment choices and this is solely mine. This is not to be taken as investment advice. I sold all my positions in VOO the S&P500 I started investing into in November 2022. I did the switch as I've decided to increase the amount I was dollar cost averaging in monthly and considering the costs and exchange rates it is now worth it to start on CSPX.
My prior investments into VOO on Syfe Trade didn't cost me any amount. Watch this video here • I started investing in...

Have you explored FSM doing RSP into VUAA? There’s no fee as VUAA is in FSM ETF RSP list and you can even choose to RSP up to 4 times a month. However, the exchange rate might not be as good as IKBR. You can also do recurring cash top up to your FSM which suits the hands-off approach that you are looking for.

@MrSlurrpy Месяц назад

Well snce you are going to DCA into SP500 equivalent you should have taken the chance to take profit from CMC and diversify into other areas with tactical tilts (say a small portion into HY bonds or sector based ETF or geographic (non-us etf) esp with the US market being rich in valuations. Since you wont DCA into those position you portfolio will still naturally tend towards US large cap but at least this is a good chance to rebalance.

the per unit price is too low. you will pay a extra due to per shares bid spread ratio

@jamiehush 11 дней назад

For anyone watching, another option to deal with the estate tax is to buy a cheap term life insurance policy so the person who inherits your estate (in my case my wife) doesn't have to sell any shares. I spent 7 years in the USA but never got a green card, so when I moved to Asia, I still had a bunch of stocks in the USA. For my personal situation, it didn't make sense to move certain assets. What Demi did here was a great move! But once you save up about a year's worth of salary in stocks (you'll save it faster than you think if you keep dollar-cost averaging), making big sales takes a bit more thinking. 🎉

@biblohudson9425 Месяц назад

@kewtheii6764 15 дней назад

Question: Unless you're absolutely sure that price right now is overpriced, wouldn't it be better to just deposit L/S on top of your monthly contribution right away as assuming the year will end with 12% returns, it will be 12% on your principal to which, is 4k if you L/S in, or 12% of 800 if you're timing the market. Or are you anticipating a withdrawal in price and finding opportunities to dump on withdrawal? But wouldn't this be considered acting on emotion? New to this, appreciate your guidance, thanks!

@KyithNg Месяц назад

Think one thing you may or may not realize is that when you are 40 looking back, that decision to wait and decide when to invest that profit may look silly given how much capital you would deal with then. It may be less effort to just invest now because most that choose to wait will either agonize over whether a 3% fall, or a 5% fall is large enough. And when it never comes, you end up either just investing at a higher price, or wait more. You would be adding more capital to it through the RSP program and this may end up similar. Ultimately, what you have to contend with whether you should buy-and-hold, or have a valuation allocation layer in your investment decision making in the future when your capital reaches $200,000 for example. Those decisions will be more impactful than the sum you have now.

If liquidity is not an issue (retirement), isn't it better if you top up SRS and invest in S&P500 equivalent using Endowus? Can get some income tax savings too and no estate tax. 0% withholding tax if u get the ishare fund.

CSPX seems to consistently have a slightly lower return than VOO. If it stays like this in the future, would need to factor if the lower returns cancel out the gains from lesser withholding tax...

It really depends on how much you put in monthly. Anywhere below USD800 I’d say go with VOO or other ETFs of your choice.

Actually if you want 0% dividend tax you cam invest in synthetic ETFs. Though it comes with it's own set of risks like counter party risks. HOwever, usually the counter parties are very large banks which have low risk of failing.

@Mourik131 Месяц назад

Why did you choose CSPX and not VUSA? I personally have VUSA. It has a better return over a decade and pays out the dividends. I have two ETF’s manly. VUSA and VUTY. I buy it with a 90% VUSA and 10% VUTY. Just like warren buffet advices. I prefer to get dividends pay out because when stocks are low I will use my dividends to buy VUSA and when bonds are low I focus more on bonds VUTY. This way life is easy and flexible. I will ad 2 more ETF’s VEMT for bonds and one more for stocks not sure which yet. Like a developed euro etf. I’m from the Netherlands and with Ireland based etf we pay 0% dividend tax. How is life going in Japan. I’m looking so forward to visiting Japan.

@ahsiong88 Месяц назад

Maybe not so straightforward to compare CSPX and VUSA as they are denominated in different currencies. Over the long term their performance looks quite similar but I’m not sure what is the currency effect. A more direct comparison will be between VUSA and VUAG. Both are in GBP but VUAG reinvest its dividends. Over the long run, VUAG performs much better.

@MATIvmr Месяц назад

What lol? VOO is in $, CSPX too. VUSA are £ that’s for starters. Vusa is distributing and CSPX is accumulating, you don’t compare two different entities to each other like that.
