Nice vid. For this year, I favour the Vanguard North America ETF VNRG instead of vanilla S&P500 because it has 570 holdings rather than 500 so it is slightly more diversified (v. slightly less tech and slightly more finance). Due to the $ exchange, buying US shares at the moment is expensive, but you win when selling if the £ is weak when you sell (like now). One of my $ ETFs is showing a loss of £136 but an Fx gain of £181 - so net gain of £44 if I sold it now! AFAIK, unless you need and spend the dividends, accumulating USA ETFs should be better than distributing USA ETFs because of the 15% withholding tax on USA dividends (compounding effect in acc. ETF).
Don’t want to be a party pooper but I think you forgot the state street SP500 ETF (SPXL) it has an expense ratio of 0.03% and comes from a reputable company. For me personally the best etf to track the S&P500 as it’s the cheapest!
There’s loads of ETFs, would’ve taken me hours to go through them all. Maybe for another video I’ll go over some lesser known options. I went over the top on trading 212 when you search for an s&p 500 etf. Thanks for the suggestion though.
@ To be honest what you’re doing is great! Keep it up! Just thought I would mention this one as the 0.03% expense ratio is the only one I see that is the same as the one the Americans are investing into (VOO)!
huge overlap if you do as US stock is 65% of the worlds stock market anyway so if u buy an all word etf ur buying the s n p 500 anyway.. then uv got s n p 500 as well uv got same companies in both
Great video as always George 💪🏼
Thank you!
Sppy, job done.
One for the next video!
Nicely explained.
It would've been helpful to know which one you would choose and why.
Video coming out Monday at 5pm where I do invest into one.
S & P500 or VWRL or Ftse All word 🤔 all great choices 👍
Yes!
@Exceldividends would it be silly or just to much weight in the USA markets to own all 3 of these

Thanks for the comments! Maybe I’ll do a revised version of this in the future :)
VUAG/ VUSA are the Gold Standard
Very true! The OGs

Would you pick all world over s&p500?
Both are welcome in my portfolio.
