Thanks team. I am yet to purchase any EFT's, however I recently helped my son to purchase after listen to a recent show. 50% IVV and 50% NDQ. Both up 7% since December 2023. Nice one.
I live off of dividends on ETFs, for sure it can improve your wealth if you reinvest them to buy more shares, creating a snowball effect that allows your investments to compound over time. It's one of the most passive and effective ways to build an income stream. well managed steady growth for me.
Have you considered the possibility of cashing out some of those dividends for paying off your monthly expenses, instead of re-investing them? Bcos I need a lot as rent, inflation alone eat up almost all of what I make.
tbh I keep compounding, adhering to well established patterns from a professional, even as a rookie, can bring tremendous value! I’ve trimmed, added also and now my average growth has increased 88% in the past year while participating behind a top performer. effectively remits over 100k annually and increasing.
Well you're sooo crushing it, I'm really looking forward to growth over time now. I will be reinvesting dividends like you, so my position size will grow. Okay if I ask how you maintained such growth from dividends, also your top performer.
Since we started superannuation in Australia in 1992 I've been contributing extra money every fortnight on top of my employee contributions, I've never earned over 90 thousand dollars per year, always been a renter and love the freedom's that has come with that, especially financially, loved my many road trips around this beautiful country of ours and never been interested in travelling overseas, I've accumulated with compounding $2.1 million with only 1 super fund and never thought much about it, absolutely stress free, I'm 55 and I can tell you it's not rocket science, my advice would be start early as i did in my 20s add more when earning more and that's it, good luck 😊
My situation is almost similar. I started as an apprentice Fitter in 1989 on $7.5 per hour (super was 3% then ). I have always contributed extra to my super . I am 54years old and I have almost $1.9 Million in one super fund. How good is life in 6 years !! Wifey is almost the same as me. To anyone that wants advice, put extra into your super because compounding works !!!

Something I'm yet to understand after owning ETFs for several years now, is why invest in an ETF that returns considerably less than another, purely for the sake of "diversification"? EG, over the last 5 years, STW has returned approx 10.6% pa, IVV 20.8%pa, NDQ 29.6%pa, so why would I invest in VGE (emerging markets) 3.64%pa, ASIA 9.8%pa, etc when they are so low? In fact, why not just own IVV and NDQ?? Even SOL only returns approx 11%pa (all over the last 5 years)
Investments should rarely be based off past performance (particularly short term performance - which 5 years is)...If you felt as though growth stocks such as Nvdia, Tesla etc are bound to keep going up then sure, chuck all your money into IVV and NDQ. But if you felt as though there may be a chance that China's economy may rebound or that Tech stocks aren't going to continuously go up, then you wouldn't want to have all your eggs in the tech/finance basket so to speak (or the USA/Developed markets baskets)
@@lachyfurtado3362 Well put by Lachy; these are long-term investments. Businesses don't all blow up instantaneously, not like coins do spontaneously. It takes a while for businesses to show results, hence their current and past valuations should be small factors when considering their future valuation-instead, look into the fine print.
You could have said the same 2 yrs ago but change ndq with lithium sector. Why not just invest in lithium, it's the future and has doubled in value..... 2 yrs later the sector has tanked. Lucky you diversified 😉
I’m not timing the market, I drop in every fortnight and then I am further investing in an “on sale” “discounted price” when values drop - and have surplus funds saved to invest when that happens - everyone loves a discount!!
they can try to do paper or mock trading to start to (need more info) then use the, $100,200,300 method (your level of put money where faith is) and just buy ETFs that covers a broad spectrum of sectors/countries and monitor their ETF 'piggies' then add X funds as see fit so at least one isn't investing to a level that they cant sleep or are more interested in the numbers not falling than going to work and please their big B.
I purchased VAS and VGS ETF's, management fees 0.07% and 0.18% respectively, lower than VDHG's 0.27%. VAS gives you top 300 ASX shares (most of which yield dividends/franking credits) which is roughly 4% on it's own separate from the actual etf price fluctuation. VGS is a star, follows the MSCI Index (23 developed economies, 1500 companies) so a product mix of say 40-45% of VAS and 55-60% of VGS should minimise risks and give you a very similar outcome to VDHG.
Great video!! Around the 27 minute mark you go through a calculation. Why do you pick compounding annually instead of compounding monthly? I have never known which option is correct to pick.
Thanks guys, great insights. One question, why invest in a bond ETF when its return over 5 years is negative. Would a slightly more aggressive ETF like VAP be a better way to avoid market volatility?
That’s a great question David and one we’d be happy to answer in a Q&A on the shows. The answer, I’m afraid, is ‘it depends’. It depends on what the investor is trying to achieve. That said, I can’t say I’ve seen an investor who has one ETF and is completely comfortable with it. Even if our investors hold a diversified ETF, they often report to us that they hold a few more. If you follow the link below, scroll down to the button that says “asset allocation”. From there you’ll see the ETFs we currently hold. invest.rask.com.au/invest-with-us/rask-terra
Most people have more than 1 ETF. It’s all about weighting. In USA a common ETF split is 50% VOO 30% QQQM and 20% SCHD Each etf serves a different function. VOO tracks Sanp500, and returns between 8-10% annually, qqqm is a tech etf so has higher growth potential and Schd is dividend etf to manage risk and earn passive income.

@@ace1-n2qyou don’t open up 3 different brokers. You choose 1 broker and you type in the codes such as IVV or NDQ and you can usually purchase them on that broker.
Diversification in ETF, near half your money is allocated to the top 10-20 stocks in most ETF,s and of those 10-20 stocks half are banks and miners , that's not to much diversification
Do it as a start, but have that in the back of your mind and watch the market for opportunity. Knowing you have the ETF foundation, you can target a specific stock with confidence, in the hope it's the next big thing.
I am new in Australia and I am 39. Which ETF is best to start with? I have seen readymade portfolio from Vanguard and then there is Beta shares platform as well and more platform as well. And, what kind of portfolio will give high returns? I can also start 10K and 500 / month then. Thank You Tarun
In Australia IVV and IOO aren't really options? These are NYSE traded? In Australia our ASX 300 ETF is VAS (Vanguard) and International Shares for diversification with VGS. A good mix of those (40-45% VAS and 55-60% VGS) will see 1800 companies across 24 developed economies.
My 3 tips are Make sure your Etf has a V at the start of it. Make sure your Etf has a V at the start of it. Make sure your Etf has a V at the start of it. Your welcome.
If Etfs are just diversified shares why not just put the money into your super which is doing exactly the same thing but you get better tax advantages?
You should put your money into super but there's a limit on how much you can contribute per year and still get the big tax discount. Invest the rest outside of super.
True but not all Super Funds invest in the same way. For example Vanguard Super will invest according with Vanguard's product and risk rating; eg Super invested with growth option is basically VDHG, whilst Australian Super may have drastically different products that their financial planners pick and choose.
I have used Raiz to set aside money for my child, putting $10 per week away for over five years now. I have put some extra money in it from time-to-time and have $4,800 in Raiz now. The bad is that you pay a high monthly fee for such small amounts.
Raiz is waste of money. If you want to start with micro investing, Spaceship is cheaper because you can have unlimited amount of ETFs and stocks and only pay $3 per month (providing you invest in 1 Spaceship portfolio). If you invest smartly the gains outweigh the management fees.
@T0pMan15 I have been using Raiz for a year now. You are saying its better to swap to somewhere else? I find Raiz easy because money is coming out of your account withour doing anything.

Hi team. So new to this. Such a nubie, I'm at the downside of my working life, Have just sold investment property now want to invest in shares. Help. Laughing is $420k enough...

Hello, EFT is good in Australia, but we need cash in case of credit card drama which happens and lost wallet problems, so security check and give money. Amali Australia Thanks.
RISK: You Do Not own the underlying asset. So if Beta Shares sponsoring this program goes broke, then you Will Lose Everything as you actually own nothing. There is also a cost! So simply look at the shares they are buying and then buy the same. this way you save management fees and you skip any risk, as shite happens. I'm blown away these kids don tell you this.
So asx rules min buy of $500 per share. So if you are like 18 years old and only have $1000 to invest you can get 2 companies max. That is not very diversified and has you under a lot of risk. You could be investing in 50 companies with ETFs. Also every time you buy or sell a share you are paying brokerage fees. So investing in 30 different companies would cost me almost $300. Or i could invest in one etf for $10.
Most of us don’t want to follow the market daily or want to risk putting all our eggs in one basket. Good on you if you (a) have the time and (b) have the risk appetite!
