Nice video. I started investing in index funds in 1998 and stopped work in 2019 aged 51. Your points are a recipe for financial freedom. Most people will be unable to stick to them though.
@@FeelMyBicepp it varied. Very roughly, one third of my annual lifestyle costs were invested (so if my spend was £21k I would invest £7k) In later years I invested a higher percentage because my wages went up, but I did not spend more.
Very good video, point one is maybe the most important. I did the same with a huge diversification in many ETFs and now I’m trying to simplify. You’re the best Angelo !
I just started investing 1.5 months ago and I'm making all the mistakes that a beginner investor often makes. 1) My portfolio is complicated, 2) I am affected by "noise" and trade way too often. 3) I am impatient, indecisive and act emotionally 4) I over-emphasized the dividends-paying companies, 5) I obsessed over the fees. 6) Now I'm not even sure if this is the right time to invest anymore. Enjoyed the video. Will be re-watching it again. =p
For those of you watching this elsewhere: Banks and Financial institutions can fail suddenly, and it can be of equal probability with you loosing your job (which tends to happen simultaneously), you might loose most of your money with maybe a little refund 10+ years later. It is not always a good idea to keep your emergency funds invested. Keeping it in a Bank that does not give interest but government owned, or even keeping 2-3 months in a safe at home might be a good idea. Please investigate the end of Weinmar republic, compare it with recent events such as Argentina, Venezuella, and observe what governments do when they go bankrupt.
You are absolutely right. Especially if you have previously invested in stocks, it is easy to make everything too complicated with ETFs. An MSCI World ETF with a savings plan is all you need.
Thank you for your transparency! 🙏😊 I've got 3 etf's for 2 years: VWCE, S&P500 and one for dividends. The best performance in my portfolio is S&P500, the worst the dividend one (actually in minus all 2 years I hold it). VWCE doesnt perform that good as for you, but I guess it needs more time and space :)
Thank you for sharing! Yes, the US has been outperforming everyone else lately, but since nobody knows the future I like to keep it simple and include all countries via VWCE :)
This video sums up everything I have learned about investing in stocks. I'd say this is the only right way to go. You can get lucky but MSCI world is the BEST option and super diversified. Buy with a fixed interval and don't stray from it. Top advice this video!!
I have a portfoli of four etfs the vanguard s&p 500, Vanguard FTSE develop, iShares NASDAQ 100 and iShares Automations and Robotics. Is that too much, should I just stick to one, and if yes which one?
: Before investing in any ETF, it's important to conduct thorough research. Understand the fund's objectives, track record, expense ratio, and the index it aims to replicate.
Very good content I’m working in the market in the regulatory department and you seems to be very legit ! Congratulations we need more honest ppl on TH-cam!
Yes true I have heard those advices often I like 2 or 3 ETFs one foundational maybe about 59% then two growth ETFs for growth like QQQM or SOXQ on an Roth IRA and keep buying more shares, can also get some good dividend stocks like KO , O, or STAG, cheers ❤❤
2:45 You say the 2 ETFs do NOT overlap of around 90% but when I check them, I see they have almost identical top 10 holdings and also they are ~70% focused on USA. Could you pls elaborate?
This is pretty spot on and good info. This is pretty much where I got to 3 years into my investment journey. One valuable tidbit I gained form this was putting your Emergency Fund in a different insurance covered broker. Definitely will look into that!
I wonder if you would consider doing a video on ETFs that don't have oil and gas holdings, or a video with any other angle on sustainable investing? Personally I plan to decarbonise my portfolio in 2024 and I bet some of your other subscribers are thinking along the same lines. Thanks for all your great videos and greetings from (also) Vienna.
I like the regional diversification of your ETF portfolio. Regional diversification is such an important method to reduce risk. I create stock analysis videos on my channel and I always cover where a company sources their revenue.
Hi Angelo! Many thanks for sharing your investing journey with ETFs, very inspiring and encouraging for all of us! Two questions which I didn’t seem to find in the videos I watched, (i) as a European investor, how do you manage the exposure to USD and (ii) if you had a lump sum for example €50k would you invest in the ETF immediately or €10k over 5 month period? Many thanks in advance!! Continue doing what you doing!!!!!
For VWCE accumulating, how do you know which percentage/amount of your annual gain represented the dividend? For example, how much divident was paid in 2023 and on which month?
You have thousands of stocks within the ETF paying out dividends at different dates throughout the entire year. As this happens, the fund reinvests them into more shares of the stocks within the index, slowly raising the ETF share value by the amount that would have otherwise been paid out by the Distributing version of the same ETF on a quarterly basis. As Martin mentioned in his reply, you can get a good idea of the dividend amount/percentage looking at the Distributing version: www.justetf.com/en/etf-profile.html?isin=IE00B3RBWM25#dividends
Hi Angelo! That what he learned is almost the same what I've learned. 😀 Keep going, after another 7 years the result will be amazing. : ). Can you share some of the books which you read about ETF Investing?
Great! 🙏 Yes, we should be well into early retirement by then if things go well :) One of my favorites was The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins, which is a great place to start in my opinion.
@@AngeloColomboFi, yes this is also one of my favourite, which represent the simplest strategy. But I also at the moment diversified with other type of assets - broad ETFs as S&P500 and FTSE All World, also High Dividend ETF and a few shares. Apart from that I invest in P2P and Money Markets fund like you and also Farm Land.
Hi Angelo. Thanks a lot for your video. I have also made the same mistake of buying too many ETFs in the beginning and now I have realised my mistake although it has not been long since I started. However, it is difficult to decide which ones to let go after having bought some shares in each of them. For example, I have been investing in the Vanguard All World ETF as you but I have also been investing in some other ETFs such as an AI ETF expecting high growth rate in the next 10 years. Of course, the sum of the expense ratios of these ETFs would cost a lot in the long term. Thanks a lot and appreciate your time for the video and your reply.
Hey Angelo, thanks for the content so far, hope 2024 goes your way! Just curious, do you track a year-by-year inflation-adjusted value graph for the sums you invested across the years in VWCE? Also, what's your investment cadence? Weekly/monthly/quarterly/random/etc. ? Keep up the good work!

Solitamente gli etf world sovrappesano gli usa in maniera esagerata (60%-70%). Ecco perché io mi creo il world con più etf. Semplicemente negli ultimi anni al tuo portfolio è andata bene perché gli USA sono andati bene! Se gli USA dovessero avere un anno negativo tu lo vedresti nel 60% del tuo portfolio.
Xtrackers a lanciato il primo ETF MSCI World ex USA. Si chiama Xtrackers MSCI World ex USA UCITS ETF 1C (EXUS). L'ETF aiuta a diminuire la dipendenza del mercato americano. Non so se il KIID è già stato tradotto in italiano ma non è stato ancona tradotto in finlandese. Quindi non posso compararlo ancora ma lo comprerò quando è disponibile per gli investitori finlandesi. Conosci quest'ETF?
Thanks for the video! One question: why would you choose Vanguard FTSE All-World instead of, say, iShares Core MSCI World, even though the latter has smaller expenses and performed better, at least in the last 5 years? Is it just because of the larger diversification?
He talked about this in separate VWCE video, as you said - it's diversification, as IWDA does not cover small cap nor emerging markets. Those under performed lately, but it's not an indication for future performance.
Exactly as @GoSu said :) But I totally understand investors that choose to only invest into developed markets (eg. via an MSCI World or FTSE Developed World) due to the lower fees and EM's poor performance over the past decade.
If I am not mistaken you are based in Austria and there it doesn’t matter if you purchase Acc or Distr. they will tax you anyways. Therefore, it reduces the compound effect
Angelo, can you suggest alternative to Trade republic which is not available in Croatia for getting that 3-4% of interest on emergency fond? Do Interactive brokers offer similar thing? On what risk?
Hi Angelo, Luc here just turned 20 and need to know what exaclty i should start doing with my money as it is just sitting in the bank right now knowing that it could be put to work to give me a boost in the up coming future... i ahve a little in ajbells stocks and shares in some of the stocks but want to know if its the right move. let me know thanks.
Hi Angelo, plese comment if it is good strategy for long run. I started investing in two ETFs > 1. Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating VUAA (The S&P 500® index tracks the 500 largest US stocks.) / 2. Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating VWCE (The FTSE All-World index tracks stocks from developed and emerging countries worldwide.)
Hi Franko, I can't give you investment advice, but I can say this: The Vanguard FTSE All-World already includes all the stocks in the S&P 500 (these make up around 61% of the index), so in my opinion it doesn't make much sense to buy both, unless you want to increase your share of US stocks further.
Great videos and content for us in EU. May I ask, given the fact that in the long run, we expect immerging markets to get more and more financial stronger (As all analysts and even current tech new predict), wouldn't a 3etf like 50% VUAA 25% VEUA 25% EMIM approach be more versatile? (also who knows maybe in the future eu decided to offer tax advantages to etfs that invest in European companies only). I feel that VWCE 65% weight towards the usa market is not so future-proof.
Very nice video! I am new to ETF or any other investments. I learned a lot from your videos and am trying to start my own investment. I have a stupid question: 4% interest for uninvested money is also quite attractive to me. Do the brokers charge if I transfer money out to my personal bank account?
invece che investire in un etf che replica l'MSCI europe o il FTSE Developed europe investire direttamente nei singoli paesi che hanno un peso predominante nei predetti indici (regno unito, francia, germania, svizzera) che vantaggi e che svantaggi può dare? è qualcosa che consigli?
I read somewhere that Irish ETF's only charge 15% tax when withdrawing as apposed to other countries ETF's witch charge 30% tax - wouldn't it be better to just buy Irish ETFs? Also, how will the TAX work - do you just pay 30% on your gains or the whole amount?
Hello Angelo. What's your opinion about sintetic etfs? They seem to be cheaper and they have less tracking error. But I don't see many recomendations to buy them
Hi, can you please answer where I can see "Withhold Tax" for VUSA or VWRL ETF-s? I am using Interactive Brokers and for ETF-s there is no withhold tax. Is there any document or? I need some document to show in my country to confirm that taxes for that investments are paid. Thx.
this is great advice. yes keep it simple. but sorry to say that if you only invested in 1 s&p etf you would have 352,079.29 today. msci world often underperform the us market
I wanted ti buy the FTSE ETF you suggests in the video. However I see that on Degiro the only ETF replacating this index Is USD denominted. Buying this ETF would not expose me to FX Exchange Risk if I am within Eurozone?
If i understand we buy 2 ETF's then we just add money inside those ETF and it will invest automatically ? Or i have to buy sell stuff daily to have profit ?
ETFs are merely third party investment choices and there are two reasons to avoid them. 1/ You pay the wages of the fund managers as well as their trading fees, rather than just trading fees if you invest directly in stocks. 2/ Most ETFs do not keep pace with inflation. Their value, like stock prices, can be manipulated down by the big bank traders by shorting.
Really nice content Angelo (as usual)! May I ask you if you know how taxes in Austria work if you move your investments out of country? My wife and I have ETFs that we bought when we came to Austria but our contracts run just for the next 3 years; after that, it is likely that we'll have to leave the Schengen area.
Thank you Tomas! Haven't looked into this more closely yet as I haven't had the need to (nor would it change our investment strategy), but it's something I'm also interested to find out.
Could you help to understand please a moment with USD ETFs in Trade Republic - does not it create extra cost for currency exchange rate from our side? May similar EUR funds cover it better? 🤔
No, the fund currency itself is irrelevant, we're able to buy/sell these ETFs directly in EUR on most European exchanges. You only pay a tiny exchange fee (in the form of a 0.0014 difference in the USD-EUR exchange rate) if you have a Distributing ETF or stock which pays out dividends in USD, which would then be converted to EUR
Hey Angelo! I wanted to ask you, does the 20,000€ investor compensation scheme limit concern you? Because in the US, brokerage accounts are protected up to $500,000 but here in Europe, it’s up to €20,000. Maybe you could make a video about this?
Is living in Austria a big drawback for dividend investing? even the non-paying etfs fall under dry-income tax. Isn't it better to relocate to Switzerland?
Hi Angelo, Does Trade Republic pays capital gain tax automatically for Austrian residence? or do I have to do something else manually if I want to keep my emergency fund over there?
Not yet, they're working on becoming "tax easy", so that they can take care of taxes automatically in Austria. For now you have to declare these interest earnings on a yearly basis in your tax returns (eg. interest from 2024 goes into your 2024 tax returns, which you have to submit by end of June 2025). Trade Republic provides you with a tax report specifically for Austria though, which summarizes everything.
How are using Trade Republic when you're based in Austria? Their website says you have to have a permanent residence in Germany (with tax liability) to be able to open an account. Thanks!
Dear Angelo, can i please ask is IBKR is your main broker? And if you think DEGIRO is fine? i started using degiro due to it being more user friendly but i can see that IBKR is numero uno in the game.... Thank you!
What’s the difference between doing an S&P 500 vs doing three etfs : nasdaq, emerging markets and Europe ? It seems as doing three continents would be more diversified
I tried ibkr but I still can’t buy ETF, they are either missing KID, thus disable the choice of buying them. Or I’m illegible to buy them, so i need to change the account settings to do so. Trying to change account settings just notify me that it ibkr deemed I’m not elligable. It is a uphill battle.
Either the US-based ETF VT (Vanguard Total World Stock) in case you have access to it in Australia or VGS (Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF), which covers the MSCI World
wait, did i understand that correctly? @3:15 you mention your investment was 219k and in 7 years your total returns where 54k . thats like 25%ish in 7years? that cant be right, can it?
No, you misunderstood that. I wish we had that much 7 years ago already, we'd be a lot further 😅 We've been growing our ETF portfolio starting from approx. 30K in 2017, while having low living expenses, raising our income over time and investing our monthly savings on a regular basis. If you check 03:54 in the video, you can see our average yearly returns are sitting at 10% (TTWROR) and 9,65% p.a. (IRR), according to Portfolio Performance. You can also see each month's and year's return there in %.

Tax on ETF in Ireland is very punitive.After 7 years it’s deemed disposal and an exit tax of 41 percent on profits applies 😢
Irish taxation is great for non-Irish investors, but I've heard it's really unfair for the Irish themselves. :/
Total returns are important but it is a rear view mirror, doesn't guide forward returns. While dividends is something you could have in hand.

U svakom slučaju, mislim da je IBKR najbolja opcija svakako.
Pozdrav od komšije!
How does ETF profit you? Giving out dividend? Month or quarterly or yearly basis? Or u had to sell it to earn the difference of price?
What were the books you read on index investing ? I would like to read more about them
Hi Angelo, Luc here just turned 20 and need to know what exaclty i should start doing with my money as it is just sitting in the bank right now knowing that it could be put to work to give me a boost in the up coming future... i ahve a little in ajbells stocks and shares in some of the stocks but want to know if its the right move. let me know thanks.
Hi Angelo, plese comment if it is good strategy for long run. I started investing in two ETFs > 1. Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating VUAA (The S&P 500® index tracks the 500 largest US stocks.) / 2. Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating VWCE (The FTSE All-World index tracks stocks from developed and emerging countries worldwide.)
Hi Franko, I can't give you investment advice, but I can say this: The Vanguard FTSE All-World already includes all the stocks in the S&P 500 (these make up around 61% of the index), so in my opinion it doesn't make much sense to buy both, unless you want to increase your share of US stocks further.
Great videos and content for us in EU. May I ask, given the fact that in the long run, we expect immerging markets to get more and more financial stronger (As all analysts and even current tech new predict), wouldn't a 3etf like 50% VUAA 25% VEUA 25% EMIM approach be more versatile? (also who knows maybe in the future eu decided to offer tax advantages to etfs that invest in European companies only). I feel that VWCE 65% weight towards the usa market is not so future-proof.
Very nice video! I am new to ETF or any other investments. I learned a lot from your videos and am trying to start my own investment. I have a stupid question: 4% interest for uninvested money is also quite attractive to me. Do the brokers charge if I transfer money out to my personal bank account?
Angelo thanks for the content . Have you bought VWRL from interactive brokers in EUR ?? Because i only find it in USD
Appreciate your efforts
Great video. Thanks!
Do u have a video recommending or teaching / sharing knowledge on REITS for eu investors ?
invece che investire in un etf che replica l'MSCI europe o il FTSE Developed europe investire direttamente nei singoli paesi che hanno un peso predominante nei predetti indici (regno unito, francia, germania, svizzera) che vantaggi e che svantaggi può dare? è qualcosa che consigli?
I read somewhere that Irish ETF's only charge 15% tax when withdrawing as apposed to other countries ETF's witch charge 30% tax - wouldn't it be better to just buy Irish ETFs? Also, how will the TAX work - do you just pay 30% on your gains or the whole amount?
Hello Angelo. What's your opinion about sintetic etfs? They seem to be cheaper and they have less tracking error. But I don't see many recomendations to buy them
Hi, can you please answer where I can see "Withhold Tax" for VUSA or VWRL ETF-s? I am using Interactive Brokers and for ETF-s there is no withhold tax. Is there any document or? I need some document to show in my country to confirm that taxes for that investments are paid. Thx.
this is great advice. yes keep it simple.
but sorry to say that if you only invested in 1 s&p etf you would have 352,079.29 today.
msci world often underperform the us market
I wanted ti buy the FTSE ETF you suggests in the video. However I see that on Degiro the only ETF replacating this index Is USD denominted. Buying this ETF would not expose me to FX Exchange Risk if I am within Eurozone?
If i understand we buy 2 ETF's then we just add money inside those ETF and it will invest automatically ? Or i have to buy sell stuff daily to have profit ?
ETFs are merely third party investment choices and there are two reasons to avoid them.
1/ You pay the wages of the fund managers as well as their trading fees, rather than just trading fees if you invest directly in stocks.
2/ Most ETFs do not keep pace with inflation. Their value, like stock prices, can be manipulated down by the big bank traders by shorting.
Really nice content Angelo (as usual)!
May I ask you if you know how taxes in Austria work if you move your investments out of country?
My wife and I have ETFs that we bought when we came to Austria but our contracts run just for the next 3 years; after that, it is likely that we'll have to leave the Schengen area.
Thank you Tomas! Haven't looked into this more closely yet as I haven't had the need to (nor would it change our investment strategy), but it's something I'm also interested to find out.
Could you help to understand please a moment with USD ETFs in Trade Republic - does not it create extra cost for currency exchange rate from our side? May similar EUR funds cover it better? 🤔
No, the fund currency itself is irrelevant, we're able to buy/sell these ETFs directly in EUR on most European exchanges. You only pay a tiny exchange fee (in the form of a 0.0014 difference in the USD-EUR exchange rate) if you have a Distributing ETF or stock which pays out dividends in USD, which would then be converted to EUR
@@AngeloColomboFi interesting, thanks! That expands the list of potential ETFs.
Hey Angelo! I wanted to ask you, does the 20,000€ investor compensation scheme limit concern you? Because in the US, brokerage accounts are protected up to $500,000 but here in Europe, it’s up to €20,000. Maybe you could make a video about this?
Thanks Angelo. Good general advice clearly explained.
Is living in Austria a big drawback for dividend investing? even the non-paying etfs fall under dry-income tax. Isn't it better to relocate to Switzerland?
Hi Angelo, great content!
Do you use any app to bring together your portfolio from different brokers?
Hi Angelo, Does Trade Republic pays capital gain tax automatically for Austrian residence? or do I have to do something else manually if I want to keep my emergency fund over there?
Not yet, they're working on becoming "tax easy", so that they can take care of taxes automatically in Austria. For now you have to declare these interest earnings on a yearly basis in your tax returns (eg. interest from 2024 goes into your 2024 tax returns, which you have to submit by end of June 2025). Trade Republic provides you with a tax report specifically for Austria though, which summarizes everything.
How are using Trade Republic when you're based in Austria? Their website says you have to have a permanent residence in Germany (with tax liability) to be able to open an account. Thanks!
Dear Angelo, can i please ask is IBKR is your main broker? And if you think DEGIRO is fine? i started using degiro due to it being more user friendly but i can see that IBKR is numero uno in the game.... Thank you!

What’s the difference between doing an S&P 500 vs doing three etfs : nasdaq, emerging markets and Europe ?
It seems as doing three continents would be more diversified
The NASDAQ100 is not a diversified ETF, it's basically just US tech stocks
Great video!
Complimenti, molto interessante. Che ne pensi del Value Averaging? Perché non lo adotti?
I tried ibkr but I still can’t buy ETF, they are either missing KID, thus disable the choice of buying them. Or I’m illegible to buy them, so i need to change the account settings to do so. Trying to change account settings just notify me that it ibkr deemed I’m not elligable. It is a uphill battle.
Any Aussies here? What are the best brokers/platforms for us in Oz? I heard CMC is good but I’m just starting to learn
Hi, excellent video! I have a problem, I'm living in Australia so I can buy VWCE... What option could be similar here in Australia??
Either the US-based ETF VT (Vanguard Total World Stock) in case you have access to it in Australia or VGS (Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF), which covers the MSCI World
@@AngeloColomboFi Oh thanks Angelo! But which differences does VT and VGS have with VWCE? This ones have the same characteristics? Thanks!
wait, did i understand that correctly? @3:15 you mention your investment was 219k and in 7 years your total returns where 54k . thats like 25%ish in 7years? that cant be right, can it?
No, you misunderstood that. I wish we had that much 7 years ago already, we'd be a lot further 😅
We've been growing our ETF portfolio starting from approx. 30K in 2017, while having low living expenses, raising our income over time and investing our monthly savings on a regular basis. If you check 03:54 in the video, you can see our average yearly returns are sitting at 10% (TTWROR) and 9,65% p.a. (IRR), according to Portfolio Performance. You can also see each month's and year's return there in %.
@@AngeloColomboFi thank you for clarifying. that makes way more sense! great content, btw
Thank you for videos
Omg, all these concepts are so simple and boring and I LOVE THEM!
