Thanks for the advice Angelo. Clean, transparent, no bs, no "buy this one because I guarantee it will go to the moon" or other snake-oil type of advice. I only wish I knew 10 years ago what I know now and that I saw your videos around that time
Love the clarity, as always Angelo! Would you consider making a video about ETFs that don't have exposure to oil & gas? Would be super interesting to know your thoughts on ETFs for the growing number of investors like me who want to decarbonise their portfolios. Liebe Grüße aus dem 2. Bezirk :)
Thanks for the nice informative video. Nice to hear others points’ of view. Question, have you ever been charged a “speciality Fee” when buying ETF through IBKR using the tier model?
2:05 Hello Angelo, thanks for a great video as always! I noticed that you purchased the same ETF 4 times on different days in January. Is there a specific reason for this?
Yes, the first two purchases were automated recurring investments (my wife and I) and the second two I placed manually as I received extra income from my work (I'm self employed).
Hi Angelo, great video as always! I am interested if you maybe do a video on security of those brokerage firms of your choice? Especially, if we are talking about a larger portfolio that is targeted for a pension in the future. Is it safe to do it through in one account of IB or through more brokers? How does the compensation scheme really work in terms of fraud or bankruptcy regarding the asset possitions?
Enjoyinging your channel! I've setup a Trade Republic account using the link you provided. I also have a Degiro account with some shares that are doing well. I'm curious if you think ETFs are a good option for an Irish resident, given the tax situation (high)? Is it better to just stick to individual stocks? Thank you!
Thank you for the valuable information Angelo! Really helpful. Once your portfolio is greater than 100k€, shouldn’t you try to protect your portfolio against potential bankruptcy of broker and the asset manager? Therefore I would expect to use multiple broker platforms + spread your portfolio across different asset managers (SPDR, Blackrock, Vanguard,…). What are your thoughts on this?
Thank you, Angelo. Your content is so much valuable. I have one question. Would you be so kind to share your thoughts regarding semiconductor ETFs? Are they good for long-term investing or it's just hype and speculation? Have you ever thought about investing in them?
Thank you Alexei! It's a bet on a specific sector that's hyped up right now, something I don't like doing myself. Always ask yourself if you'd be willing to hold it over decades, even if the hype were to die down in a few years. If the answer is no, I would skip it
Throughout the entire year, at whichever time the thousands of companies within pay out dividends, which the fund reinvests into more shares of the stocks, raising the ETF share value by that amount

One question, I want to DCA for 30 years in a S&P500 ETF. Should I use a ETF that covers for fx changes? Like the iShares S&P 500 EUR Hedged or should I use a USD S&P 500 and be exposed to currency changes?
@@AngeloColomboFi thank you very much. I also did some research and I guess even for diversification it could be good. Thank you anyway for your answer! Great content by the way!

Great videos Angelo! I just started my investing journey and I must say that your portfolio diversification is certainly what I had in mind. I have a question though. Since you're holding only the VWCE ETF at 0.22% p.a. If you had the chance to start over, wouldn't you go for the Developed World Acc. (VHVE) at 0.12% p.a and Emerging Markets Acc. (VFEA) at 0.22% p.a. with a 90% 10% split ? as far as I understand, this combination is now similar to the VWCE all-world but with a benefit of a lower fee, which can make a difference on the long run. Just wanted to know your thoughts on this.
Thank you! I would still keep it as simple as it is right now. To me the small potential savings in the short-term are not worth the extra hassle, especially knowing that VWCE will most likely lower its fees as well in the coming years. But you can of course do that, nothing wrong with that approach as long as you stick to it and it doesn't cost you more in transaction fees!
@@AngeloColomboFi Trade republic has an awesome interface way better than IBKR that's for sure! However I think IBKR is more solid overall and has lower fees, I think your majority investments are in the IBKR from the screenshots you showed us, is that correct?
Yes, I have the majority in IBKR. The order fees are similar for my ETF - 1.25€ on IBKR using tiered pricing vs. 1€ on Trade Republic, but Trade Republic has an advantage when it comes to smaller investments, as they offer commission-free recurring investments (we use these for our daughter). Either way, you can always transfer shares between the two, so I see no downside in using both of their advantages :)
Hi Angelo, love your videos! I am also using IBKR for ETF investing. I had also opened a Trade Republic account but never transferred money in it yet. I am thinking this could be good for the 4% cash return. My question is: does trade republic act as a bank account? Plus having the option to invest through it? What if I just invest through IBKR and keep trade Republic as a bank account? I am also soon to move from Germany to Spain. And I only started investing in IBKR in summer2023, do you have any tips to look out for in this case? Do I need to update my residency? Does that mean I need to divest and invest again, and therefore pay taxes on the operations? Or can I leave the investments there and just change my address? Sorry for the many questions, hope you can help and thanks again!
Good content! Im also using a single ETF strategy ro keep rhings simple and managevle over the years. Have you thought about protecting large downturns in the market so that you can profit from these rarther than ride them out? I am considering virtu financial or flow traders which value should go up when markets have high volatility.
Thank you! No, downside protection always comes at a cost (eg. lower/no returns in case the market goes up) and honestly, I don't think it's worth my time. It would only make sense if I knew when the market was about to drop and when it's going up, which neither me or anyone else can predict.
@AngeloColomboFi thanks for another informative video. I’d like to heard your thoughts on a three ETFs portfolio composed of: MSCI All World (30%), S&P500 (50%), and 20% Growth ETF like EQQQ, I believe it can give you a good exposure to the growth ETFs while mitigate the risk through mid and low risk ETFs like S&P and MSCI all world, do you see any drawbacks?
My pleasure! Your strategy doesn't make much sense to me to be honest. By combining those three in those allocations, you're 91% invested in the US, heavily over-weighing tech stocks. At that point you might as well just buy the S&P 500 in my opinion.
You are right. Im planning to have a global low cost etf like MSCI ACWI IMI as the biggest part of my portfolio (70%), and 30% for either EQQQ or S&P, does that make it more a more balanced portfolio?
@@ebrahimkargar9092It makes it a US-overweight portfolio. If that is what you're after then it's good, otherwise just going 100% MSCI ACWI IMI is sensible.
Thank you Angelo, it would be nice to have an idea of what the difference in volatility between inverting 1 million today or split it in 60 (12months * 5years) different contributions of 16.6k (1 million/60 months). Just to maximice the relation between risk/return
My pleasure! Sadly that wouldn't make much sense, since I can't predict the future and every 5 year period is different. But you can do some backtests here: curvo.eu/backtest/en
Hi, don’t you think gold should be put in your wallet? At this moment where China is at low prices, don’t you see it as an opportunity where the rest of the market is high? Thank you
Hey Angelo, love your videos! Wanted to ask you about the Trade Republic 4%. Although TR have said they deposit cash reserves into an account with their partner banks - which is insured up to 100k, what would happen if Trade Republic were to go under? I see a lot of people mention how it's insured for up to 100k with the Deposit Guarantee Scheme but when speaking to others about it they mention my money may not actually be safe under that scheme unless its in a German bank account under my name? Would only Trade Republic be protected under this and not me necessarily? Interested if you have any insight on this.
Hi Lachlan, If Trade Republic goes under, the €100K protection still applies for each investor individually. We're talking about a strictly regulated German broker (and now licensed bank as well). The German regulator BaFin would never allow them to state it on their website or app otherwise and it has already been confirmed by the BaFin as well via Email that each investor is protected up to 100K.
I’m really keen on starting these investments in ETFs, I just moved to Spain 🇪🇸 and I would love to know which broker to use here for taxes purposes. If anyone can give me a ideia. Thanks 🙏
US stock market is unfortunately not only one horse but the only best horse out of the history, and considering its global domination of this country and the higher productivity of the corporates, it will be continued to beat all other markets. Don’t know why European just can’t accept this fact and rather sacrifice their performance in exchange for unnecessary diversification…
Hi Angelo, informative video, Thanks a lot! As a beginner in investing, it really helps. I have few doubts about broker account , like if I move tosome other European country permanently, do i need to close my accounton IB or I can change my phone no. and bank account no. simply?
You can of course inform IB about your change in residence to have your address changed, there's no need to switch brokers for that. Luckily they're available all over the world
I have a question about my portfolio. Right now I am investing a couple Index funds that are giving me like a 4,17% annually. Recently I have started hearing about ETFs and decided to invest 75% in a global ETF while the rest is in small cap index companies of europe and EEUU. The thing that I dont know is if it is a good idea to invest in both the ETFs and the Index funds as I am reducing the snow ball efect I could generate investing in just one type right? Any help is good!!!
You picking one or several ETFs doesn't change compounding (what you probably meant with the snowball effect), as long as the total returns (capital gains incl. dividends) are the same/similar.
Hi Angelo I fully agree with a single ETF strategy. I was wondering why you're not doing the same for P2P? I had Bondora and Mintos then switched everything to Mintos where compound interest work way more efficiently as a result. Is it just to try and test many of them?
Hi Hervé, it's something I still struggle with mentally. I would love to just have a single P2P platform that covers everything and enables me to diversify as much as possible, like an ETF. But since that is not the case and interest rates constantly change (most of my preferred lending companies on Mintos just dropped below 10%), right now I'm actively using a handful of platforms. As long as everything is automated via an auto-invest I don't mind, it just gets annoying when there is cash-drag due to low supply or changes in rates. But if I had to pick a single one it would still be Mintos, so I get why you're doing it that way!

I can see your point :) Good continuation on your journey and I'll keep following your insightful videos! Cheers from France
Angelo, I understand that VWCE is more diversified but why don't you recommend an S&P 500 etf? Sp 500 is proven to rise over time, at a bigger avg rate than all-world indices.
Based on its high valuation vs. the rest of the world, the S&P 500 is actually statistically more likely to under-perform other countries stocks over the coming decade. Of course that may or may not happen, nobody knows. Since I don't have the answer either, I prefer just buying the whole world, ensuring I don't have any regrets either way.
I really enjoy your videos Angelo. Great content. I have a complicated idea for you. I did not see any video online that addresses how to change the portfolio in the future. For example, a lot of people in their 20s 30 are currently investing in accumulating ETF but when decide to retire, Will need to either sell a portion every year or sell and restructure the portfolio to have some or all ETF distributing or get bonds or, or, or, or. If one buy accumulating now and change all to distributing later, we will need to sell and that will realize a lot of profit and have to pay tax vs investing in distributing from the beginning and that will have our wealth accumulation go slower. Have you thought about making a vide on this topic? Just sharing two cents here. Have a good one!
Thank you Mohammed! There is no need to switch to distributing ETFs later, simply selling acc. shares is a lot more tax-efficient - we're planning to do the same in retirement: th-cam.com/video/b_TXq9H8prQ/w-d-xo.html
I have about 1.3k in crypto, 1.5k (500 etfs + 1000 in stocks - big 6), saving account and pension scheme (private, good for tax refund). I currently own 2 etfs - vwce and vusa) what do you think? I know I'm a bit overexposed to USA right now, with the time I'll add some bond maybe but I still think that USA market is the best one
@@AngeloColomboFi "I thought you had purchased the SPDR MSCI ACWI IMI UCITS ETF with your wife, ISIN IE00B3YLTY66 | Ticker IMIE... Why VWCE with a TER of 0.22 instead of the SPDR MSCI ACWI IMI UCITS ETF with a TER of 0.17?"
SPDR only lowered its fee last year, it was 0,4% before. VWCE is more tax-efficient for Austrian investors (we have strange ETF taxation here), so it wouldn't make sense for us to switch. And Vanguard will most likely lower its fee as well in the not too distant future
I think over 100 k it is good to diversify. What is there is problem with broker like frozen funds due to incorrect aml claim? It happens on Revolut and support is terrible. Or if the broker crashes or misused your stocks or funds. Not high chance but can happen
I think Revolut is not a good example 😅 That's why it's important to choose reputable brokers that are strictly regulated in Central Europe (not Cyprus, Malta etc.), so that assets are always properly segregated and that there are regular checks in place. There's of course nothing wrong with you adding a second (or third) brokerage account if it makes you sleep better at night.
IBKR is the best-capitalized independent broker in the world, is a publicly listed company and you can look at all of its audited financials. It doesn't get much better than that 😅
I love using Revolut as well for fast transfers and payments, especially in other currencies. As a broker they're not comparable though - starting with the 0,12% p.a. in brokerage fees and the inability to transfer shares
Great video as usual! Very interesting idea about a supplementary REITs ETF, I'll look into some accumulating version. I currently have a small portion of my portfolio in Realty Income and I'm overall quite happy with it, despite the tax implications it's dividends have. Keep it up!
Yes, IB is great and remains my personal favorite. Trade Republic is also worth looking at as an addition, also thanks to the 4% interest they pay on €. I linked them both in the description if you'd like to use my link I did some transfers to IB in the past by the way, in case that might be useful: th-cam.com/video/1IT9O5WyF30/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the video Angelo. I would like to know your opinion about the new ETF SPYL. Do you think it’s a good alternative to the SXR8 or VUAA? TER is smaller and it seems to me to have a good fund size considering the time on the market.
Is there a reason why you split 3800€ worth of VWCE investment in multiple transactions within the month ? I do one lump-sum end of the month.. but market was already at way higher price per share when I bought :(
My wife and I each invest a fixed amount at the start of each month via a recurring investment and I then invest more whenever I have more cash to invest. I'm self employed, so I usually have my invoices paid at random times.
Hey Angelo, thanks for another great video. Considering the new higher return on uninvested cash by trading 212 do you plan on switching your emergency fund to their platform or will you stick with trade republic? I know TR offers more security, however, besides this do you have any other reason to not move or start depositing uninvested cash in trading 212 instead?
No, as the money on T212 is invested in an unspecified QMMF, which can go up or down in value according to the terms. It's definitely not comparable to the 4% with the 100K deposit guarantee in Trade Republic.
So you are saying that when the market is in a downtrend due to a market collapse it’s a good idea to just leave your money invested because when you stay long enough it will go up again?? Maybe have a look at the Japanese market. They are still waiting for a couple decades already to get back to their last high. Just saying.
Selling during a crash would most likely be the worst option. I'm also a proponent of investing globally for reasons like that, not just in a single country (Japan). Feel free to look at what happened to the MSCI World, even though Japan was 40% of the index back in 1987.
@@AngeloColomboFi selling before the crash and go back in at a lower level. Not selling during the crash, then it doesn’t matter anymore. Then like you say, you just have to keep going.
Thanks Angelo, MMF is still confusing, how does the interest arise from owning the XEON ETF? Trade republic you enable the interest function and you see the returns come in frequently so how does owning a MMF ETF bring about the interest?
Ciao Angelo, another very good video, maybe in the future we have the opportunity to see each other to have a coffee and discuss about investing , regards
Well... Why should it be different? I understand it may depend on your income/investment ratio to allocate in short term but if what u expect to do in next 10/20 years is be invested (all) without needing the money, it seems totally logic even with a million. Of course for some big amounts you may want to enter the market in DCA for 3-5 years to feel better (not to obtain better returns).
@@ivivivir ... EVERY study shows that its better to go all in lump sum than dcaif u got bigger amount of cash... so why are you smarter than statistics??

Thank you Angelo, it would be nice to have an idea of what the difference in volatility between inverting 1 million today or split it in 60 (12months * 5years) different contributions of 16.6k (1 million/60 months). Just to maximice the relation between risk/return
My pleasure! Sadly that wouldn't make much sense, since I can't predict the future and every 5 year period is different. But you can do some backtests here: curvo.eu/backtest/en
Hi, don’t you think gold should be put in your wallet? At this moment where China is at low prices, don’t you see it as an opportunity where the rest of the market is high? Thank you
I prefer Bitcoin as an alternative to gold, keeping in mind it carries a lot more risk as well. Since 2017 that decision has served me very well.
Angelo may we know what is your main profession? You are self employed doing what, ? Hope u can share
Hey Angelo, love your videos! Wanted to ask you about the Trade Republic 4%. Although TR have said they deposit cash reserves into an account with their partner banks - which is insured up to 100k, what would happen if Trade Republic were to go under? I see a lot of people mention how it's insured for up to 100k with the Deposit Guarantee Scheme but when speaking to others about it they mention my money may not actually be safe under that scheme unless its in a German bank account under my name? Would only Trade Republic be protected under this and not me necessarily? Interested if you have any insight on this.
Hi Lachlan,
If Trade Republic goes under, the €100K protection still applies for each investor individually. We're talking about a strictly regulated German broker (and now licensed bank as well). The German regulator BaFin would never allow them to state it on their website or app otherwise and it has already been confirmed by the BaFin as well via Email that each investor is protected up to 100K.
I’m really keen on starting these investments in ETFs, I just moved to Spain 🇪🇸 and I would love to know which broker to use here for taxes purposes. If anyone can give me a ideia. Thanks 🙏
My top 3 from this video are all available in Spain: th-cam.com/video/4B05bx3pHT8/w-d-xo.html
What do you think about a more aggresive way for reaching the first 100k and just investing in the S&P 500?
Personally not a fan of betting it all on one horse (just US market), but that's up to you
US stock market is unfortunately not only one horse but the only best horse out of the history, and considering its global domination of this country and the higher productivity of the corporates, it will be continued to beat all other markets. Don’t know why European just can’t accept this fact and rather sacrifice their performance in exchange for unnecessary diversification…
Thank you for the video. I particularly appreciate the fact that having more money to invest does not necessaraly mean invest in more products! grazie
Hi Angelo, informative video, Thanks a lot! As a beginner in investing, it really helps.
I have few doubts about broker account , like if I move tosome other European country permanently, do i need to close my accounton IB or I can change my phone no. and bank account no. simply?
You can of course inform IB about your change in residence to have your address changed, there's no need to switch brokers for that. Luckily they're available all over the world
I have a question about my portfolio.
Right now I am investing a couple Index funds that are giving me like a 4,17% annually.
Recently I have started hearing about ETFs and decided to invest 75% in a global ETF while the rest is in small cap index companies of europe and EEUU.
The thing that I dont know is if it is a good idea to invest in both the ETFs and the Index funds as I am reducing the snow ball efect I could generate investing in just one type right?
Any help is good!!!
You picking one or several ETFs doesn't change compounding (what you probably meant with the snowball effect), as long as the total returns (capital gains incl. dividends) are the same/similar.
What broker are you using?
Hi Angelo
I fully agree with a single ETF strategy. I was wondering why you're not doing the same for P2P? I had Bondora and Mintos then switched everything to Mintos where compound interest work way more efficiently as a result. Is it just to try and test many of them?
Hi Hervé, it's something I still struggle with mentally. I would love to just have a single P2P platform that covers everything and enables me to diversify as much as possible, like an ETF. But since that is not the case and interest rates constantly change (most of my preferred lending companies on Mintos just dropped below 10%), right now I'm actively using a handful of platforms. As long as everything is automated via an auto-invest I don't mind, it just gets annoying when there is cash-drag due to low supply or changes in rates. But if I had to pick a single one it would still be Mintos, so I get why you're doing it that way!
I can see your point :) Good continuation on your journey and I'll keep following your insightful videos! Cheers from France
Angelo, I understand that VWCE is more diversified but why don't you recommend an S&P 500 etf? Sp 500 is proven to rise over time, at a bigger avg rate than all-world indices.
Sp 500 is good for '' short term" (5-10 years) but in long term (15-20+ years) vwce should outperform sp 500
Based on its high valuation vs. the rest of the world, the S&P 500 is actually statistically more likely to under-perform other countries stocks over the coming decade. Of course that may or may not happen, nobody knows. Since I don't have the answer either, I prefer just buying the whole world, ensuring I don't have any regrets either way.
I really enjoy your videos Angelo. Great content. I have a complicated idea for you. I did not see any video online that addresses how to change the portfolio in the future. For example, a lot of people in their 20s 30 are currently investing in accumulating ETF but when decide to retire, Will need to either sell a portion every year or sell and restructure the portfolio to have some or all ETF distributing or get bonds or, or, or, or. If one buy accumulating now and change all to distributing later, we will need to sell and that will realize a lot of profit and have to pay tax vs investing in distributing from the beginning and that will have our wealth accumulation go slower. Have you thought about making a vide on this topic?
Just sharing two cents here.
Have a good one!
Thank you Mohammed! There is no need to switch to distributing ETFs later, simply selling acc. shares is a lot more tax-efficient - we're planning to do the same in retirement: th-cam.com/video/b_TXq9H8prQ/w-d-xo.html
I have about 1.3k in crypto, 1.5k (500 etfs + 1000 in stocks - big 6), saving account and pension scheme (private, good for tax refund). I currently own 2 etfs - vwce and vusa) what do you think? I know I'm a bit overexposed to USA right now, with the time I'll add some bond maybe but I still think that USA market is the best one
Im gonna personality invest 2000€ but in developed and emerging markets (80/20) to diversify
Sounds like a solid approach! 🙏
What is your only etf?
Vanguard FTSE All-World Acc. (VWCE) is the only one we've been buying for the past few years
@@AngeloColomboFi "I thought you had purchased the SPDR MSCI ACWI IMI UCITS ETF with your wife, ISIN IE00B3YLTY66 | Ticker IMIE... Why VWCE with a TER of 0.22 instead of the SPDR MSCI ACWI IMI UCITS ETF with a TER of 0.17?"
SPDR only lowered its fee last year, it was 0,4% before. VWCE is more tax-efficient for Austrian investors (we have strange ETF taxation here), so it wouldn't make sense for us to switch. And Vanguard will most likely lower its fee as well in the not too distant future
@@AngeloColomboFi thank you very much Angelo
I think over 100 k it is good to diversify. What is there is problem with broker like frozen funds due to incorrect aml claim? It happens on Revolut and support is terrible. Or if the broker crashes or misused your stocks or funds. Not high chance but can happen
I think Revolut is not a good example 😅
That's why it's important to choose reputable brokers that are strictly regulated in Central Europe (not Cyprus, Malta etc.), so that assets are always properly segregated and that there are regular checks in place. There's of course nothing wrong with you adding a second (or third) brokerage account if it makes you sleep better at night.
@@AngeloColomboFi Do you think Interactive Brokers is safe enough? I use it as my main broker
@@AngeloColomboFi what is the issue/risk with revolut?
IBKR is the best-capitalized independent broker in the world, is a publicly listed company and you can look at all of its audited financials. It doesn't get much better than that 😅
I love using Revolut as well for fast transfers and payments, especially in other currencies. As a broker they're not comparable though - starting with the 0,12% p.a. in brokerage fees and the inability to transfer shares
Great video as usual! Very interesting idea about a supplementary REITs ETF, I'll look into some accumulating version.
I currently have a small portion of my portfolio in Realty Income and I'm overall quite happy with it, despite the tax implications it's dividends have.
Keep it up!
Lol I just noticed the bulk cat over there 😂

Tips on how get a place with such a low rent?😂
hello . I'm thinking of switching over to Interactive Brokers. is it suitable for use in Ireland or is there something else that you recommend? thanks
Yes, IB is great and remains my personal favorite. Trade Republic is also worth looking at as an addition, also thanks to the 4% interest they pay on €. I linked them both in the description if you'd like to use my link
I did some transfers to IB in the past by the way, in case that might be useful: th-cam.com/video/1IT9O5WyF30/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the video Angelo.
I would like to know your opinion about the new ETF SPYL.
Do you think it’s a good alternative to the SXR8 or VUAA?
TER is smaller and it seems to me to have a good fund size considering the time on the market.
Yes, if you're planning to invest into the S&P 500, SPYL looks like a solid option to me! Those fees are hard to beat.
Invest 1000€ generally or pro month? Pro year?? That’s important to know before showing the video.
As in total investment portfolio
Is there a reason why you split 3800€ worth of VWCE investment in multiple transactions within the month ?
I do one lump-sum end of the month.. but market was already at way higher price per share when I bought :(
My wife and I each invest a fixed amount at the start of each month via a recurring investment and I then invest more whenever I have more cash to invest. I'm self employed, so I usually have my invoices paid at random times.
so one ETF with 1000€ every month. Damn investing is hard...
The biggest risk of all is to take none. (M. Hobson)
Hey Angelo, thanks for another great video. Considering the new higher return on uninvested cash by trading 212 do you plan on switching your emergency fund to their platform or will you stick with trade republic? I know TR offers more security, however, besides this do you have any other reason to not move or start depositing uninvested cash in trading 212 instead?
No, as the money on T212 is invested in an unspecified QMMF, which can go up or down in value according to the terms. It's definitely not comparable to the 4% with the 100K deposit guarantee in Trade Republic.
@@AngeloColomboFi Thank you so much, I was not aware of that, keep up with the excellent work and thanks for the answer :)
So you are saying that when the market is in a downtrend due to a market collapse it’s a good idea to just leave your money invested because when you stay long enough it will go up again?? Maybe have a look at the Japanese market. They are still waiting for a couple decades already to get back to their last high. Just saying.
Selling during a crash would most likely be the worst option. I'm also a proponent of investing globally for reasons like that, not just in a single country (Japan). Feel free to look at what happened to the MSCI World, even though Japan was 40% of the index back in 1987.
@@AngeloColomboFi selling before the crash and go back in at a lower level. Not selling during the crash, then it doesn’t matter anymore. Then like you say, you just have to keep going.
@@AngeloColomboFihow come Japan stock market is few decades down from ath, but as a country Japan is superior from rest of the world? 🤔

Thanks Angelo, MMF is still confusing, how does the interest arise from owning the XEON ETF? Trade republic you enable the interest function and you see the returns come in frequently so how does owning a MMF ETF bring about the interest?
Ciao Angelo, another very good video, maybe in the future we have the opportunity to see each other to have a coffee and discuss about investing , regards
Exactly, keep it simple : one ETF with automated investing and SWAN / sleep well at night
How is BlckTken300 better than anything else right now?
Crap. No difference if u invest 100 or 10kk euro.
Well... Why should it be different? I understand it may depend on your income/investment ratio to allocate in short term but if what u expect to do in next 10/20 years is be invested (all) without needing the money, it seems totally logic even with a million. Of course for some big amounts you may want to enter the market in DCA for 3-5 years to feel better (not to obtain better returns).
@@ivivivir ... EVERY study shows that its better to go all in lump sum than dcaif u got bigger amount of cash... so why are you smarter than statistics??
