Well done, Andy! I'm managing the same but £300k of that is still outside of SIPP and ISA. I'm migrating as much as possible of that into my ISA - but it's growing faster than my annual allowance, so I think it's stuck in tax-land at least until, and well into when, I retire....

The part about "cheap" and "expensive" countries is most interesting here. Basicly the market is saying - as a collective voice that votes with money - which countries they expect will likely perform good and bad. This is a good addition to any fundamental analysis, one that I will be using myself.
Insanely good breakdown. The market has already started pricing in rate cuts as interest rates for savings accounts, isa fixed bonds have started falling.

Hi @jongreenwood3029 although their forecast doesn't say so explicitly I believe they include dividends otherwise the cross-asset comparison wouldn't be very useful, particularly for things like high yield bonds where a large proportion of the return comes from income. Thanks, Ramin.
I use roe and roic ratios to screen stocks in US, to find companies with high returns. if you just look at price to earnings, you will not factor in the return on invested capital. I bet it relates directly to how high country price to earnings are valued as well.
That is what my whole investment basis has been developed on and what Terry Smith talks about. By focusing on companies with high ROCE & ROIC, and high Free Cash Flow generation I feel more comfortable I'm investing in great companies like MA, SPGI, or even CROX
I think the Canadian economist Galbraith, said of market makers, “there are those that think they know that don’t, and those that don’t know”, or to that effect.
Thank you for the video but Im not sure investing in a global equity fund is a wise choice given the fact that two big markets are over valued ie US and India which presumably represent a large chunk of the investments. Perhaps the conclusion could have been made with a clear focus on "Where to Invest in 2024" ??? with reference to the issues brought up in the first part.
Ramin - Happy New Year to you and your team! Your take on 2024 has me guardedly optimistic and your analysis of sectors and global EM has been enlightening. Question: you mention prices tend to “revert back to the mean” frequently. Is there a metric that can be used to gauge that, such as the 200-day moving average?
Even with the potential fallout from the 2024 US election? A republican candidate actively trying to subvert democracy? You don’t think that may be slightly more risky?
Thanks Ramin for the informative video. Ive never invested before and would like to start . The Vanguard Global equites do i just click on there website register and pick out that portfolio? Thankyou .
Hi @jkb5156 consider putting the investment inside an ISA (savings) or SIPP (pension) account if you are UK based as that way you won't pay tax on the investment income and capital gain. You don't have to buy Vanguard funds on Vanguard's platform in fact it can be cheaper to buy them on other platforms. Find the cheapest platforms using comparefundplatforms.com But once you've done the groundwork and found a low-cost platform you like the choice of fund depends on your investment horizon, risk capacity and risk appetite and investment goals. If you will not need the money for over a decade then a global fund might be something to consider. But stocks are volatile so be prepared for falls and don't sell when they happen. Our community offers a way to learn more and you can find how to join on our website pensioncraft.com/ Thanks, Ramin.
Huge fan of your content! I’d love to hear your thoughts on Fed Repo rate / SOFR and whether we’re reaching dangerously high rates, and if we are, what are the consequences?
I'm skeptical of the big 7, with the prospect of growth rate decline as they mature. I don't see a clear path for them to keep accelerating at the rates they're at for the long term.
@@crimsonpirate1710 Fruitcakes out in force on this thread. Not usually the case with Ramin's vids. Not to this extent anyway. Must be the Xmas syndrome: a good argument for keeping the plebs on low wages at work, and not allowing them long hols for their brains to start frying on subjects they'll never understand.
Great video Ramin, I’m learning so much from your content - just wish I’d learned all this years ago. You lost me a bit on the cheap / expensive graph though 😂
I did everything 'wrong'. I only paid into a pension scheme for 15 years. My savings were all in cash deposits. I retired at 52, and now, at 78, I am over-funded. My savings are going up, not down. My income exceeds my costs, increasingly so. Try explaining that with graphs and simulations...
I am a European investor and when I was buying ETFs I bought them in my home currency. The science behind it is that currencies will always revert back to the mean, so if you buy every month for the next 20 years, the FX change will be almost negligible (in theory)
Great content. Too optimistic for me though. Would have been good to comment on M2 and the possibility of recession or US earnings fall due to reduced revenues caused by recessions in other geographies.
So its back to investing in the EuroMillions and hoping for the jackpot ! Seriously, though, great video and I broadly concur but I see a widening of returns between the USA and the UK as the UK gets dragged back by the real rate of inflation. It could even be an effective arbitrage situation except I am concerned about the stupid valuations of the "Magnificent 7" as they are called. Your comment on MSCI Value or even an ex tech tracker would be a decent option IMHO.
Excellent video. I'm curious about the developed world global fund in your core portfolio Ramin. Do you not see a considerable benefit to including emerging markets or is it because the fee is so much lower it worries you less to be slightly less diversified?
Almost all the companies in which I invested went bankrupt. I've had enough, I'll never buy another stock or bond. I have a feeling that within a few years we will witness a very big crisis and a change in the economic model of development. Protectionism is replacing an open global economy. Confidence in the US dollar is falling and the Euro is on the verge of extinction. I read a lot of articles to understand the current situation and mostly the situation in the USA. I recently came across George Robertson, who claims that data manipulation allows the Fed to somehow keep the financial system from completely collapsing. My fears are that this will be worse than losing money, here you can already lose your job and even go crazy from the chaos around you.
I agree with you and I understand how investing can be tough at times. I started following Terry Smith's investment strategy after I too lost a lot of money in the market. The strategy focuses on investing in safe, stable companies such as SPGI or MA. Do whatever makes you happy and don't give up!
Surely, the US market is “expensive” because that’s where the growth is. The UK market is overweight in resources and banks which have lower growth and PE ratios. US banks are valued little higher than other banks. The more highly valued tech stocks are so valued because investors are discounting higher future incomes due to growth. Another point to consider is the extent to which the US market represents the world. The magic 7 obviously are global and represent the vast majority of value in their sector, but even outside of them, the likes of GE, Starbucks, P&G, Pfizer, and McDonalds are global companies that are quoted on the US market. Wall Street has become a proxy for the world with one or two exceptions, and US dynamism and innovation still appears to lead the world.
Another great video. Gives me a lot to think about. The one thing that wasn't discussed - maybe because it's outside a 'core investing analysis' theme is the geo-political risks. In the next year about 1/3rd of the free world are voting in their national elections. Obviously these risks are dominated by the US election (all bets off if Trump wins?), but the Ukraine and middle eastern conflicts also are likely to have an impact. I simply can't get my head around what will happen with investments because of these.
Why do non of the Pension experts actually show us how Drawdown pensions actually work, they never show us actual logging into a pension pot & how you actually invest the money????
Over 20% gain SP500 in 2024, I'm still leery of US stocks and will stay with my bond funds and MM a bit longer. I'm sure some sectors will do well next year. I also think the US is close to a recession. If interest rates are cut bonds should do ok.
Now there are a lot of them, and all because the “pie” has become smaller. People have lost a lot of money on stocks and no longer believe in any market.
It'll be a brave man or woman who gets into the stock market at the current level of stock market froth. There are pockets of value eg in the ftse 250 etc.. But when the inevitable crash happens it'll be dragged down with the rest. Few of us can sit and watch 50 percent being wiped off our portfolio.
@@johnristheanswerTrue, but I rode the bullrun since 2020, now I'm going to fixed income at 5 percent. Weighing the market risks that offers a far better risk vs reward ratio.
P/E ratio for next year, but not next 5 years. Many tech companies grow their profits faster than staid value stocks. Where is the innovation? Who is willing to reinvent themselves? Tesla stands out
Invaluable analysis. Thank you. May watch this twice. The only complaint I have is that Finnish stocks were not included in comparisons.... would be nice to see it in future videos. Not only because I'm heavily invested in omxh25 but also as of general interest since according to some studies Finnish stock market has been the best performer in the long run...
@@crimsonpirate1710 What exactly is rubbish? The part about Finnish equity? Can't post links here, but google: yourself: "The Rate of Return on Everything, 1870-2015"... Finnish equity has had the best returns on all periods in the study; 1870-2015 & 1950-2015 & 1980-2015. Quality companies with great dividends.
@pensioncraft as an economic collapse is predicted for 2024, is money invested in stocks and shares at risk? Would it be safer to move the money to Gold and silver?
i think it depends on how long you wish to invest for. If you have 25and up years remaining, the only thing you really have to worry about is societal collapse, esp if you've invested in S&P500 as an american. It is the most analysed index and with dollar cost averaging or lump sum investing there have been monty-carlo type simulations done and there is no point whereby you would lose money after 25yrs of investing. You will also want to remember that when stocks and shares drop they are on sale, so your money buys more for future returns. This is just what ive learned from trying to teach myself financial literacy since last may. another phrase i like is time in the market beats timing the market. Ive got S&P500, global mid and large cap and after this vid i think im going to add emerging markets, so 1/3rd each allocation, i also have 25+ years investing window.
@@george6977 if usa and taiwan choose the right leaders this year, combined with china's economic troubles, it might not happen at all. Even so, it wont be a case that kills the stock market for good, forever. It'll be a blip that might last up to a few years while the west re-routes it's supply chains. there'll be new winners and losers and it might be painful during that time, but the stock markets will recover as they always have. It is only if money becomes truly worthless, as with a societal collapse, that we need to fear the stock market not bouncing back (or being destroyed entirely) as long term investors. going through the pandemic global lockdowns eased ALOT of my anxiety around the stock market. the entire world's economies shut down that summer and STILL the stock markets bounced back. Far as i know that was a historical first, even during the worst depressions in history we had more goods and services chugging along
@@george6977 If China invades Taiwan the stockmarkets of the world will plummet. And then rise. All crashes are V-shaped. There has never been an L-shaped crash.

I thought that it was impossible to lose all my money if I bought shares of companies in the USA, China, Russia, Brazil, Great Britain...

Is it intentional not to say the word “Japan” at any single point of your analysis? How can you ignore the 3rd economy in the world?
Over 20% gain SP500 in 2024, I'm still leery of US stocks and will stay with my bond funds and MM a bit longer. I'm sure some sectors will do well next year. I also think the US is close to a recession. If interest rates are cut bonds should do ok.
Many thanks!
You're welcome! @richardshaw2184

Now there are a lot of them, and all because the “pie” has become smaller. People have lost a lot of money on stocks and no longer believe in any market.

Is it just me or has the entire world's stock market been flat since 2007, except for the USA, France, Netherlands, and India...?

It'll be a brave man or woman who gets into the stock market at the current level of stock market froth. There are pockets of value eg in the ftse 250 etc.. But when the inevitable crash happens it'll be dragged down with the rest. Few of us can sit and watch 50 percent being wiped off our portfolio.
If you sit too long waiting for your crash , you miss out.
@@johnristheanswerTrue, but I rode the bullrun since 2020, now I'm going to fixed income at 5 percent. Weighing the market risks that offers a far better risk vs reward ratio.
@@johnristheanswer He will though. Fruitcakes will out.

Invaluable analysis. Thank you. May watch this twice.
The only complaint I have is that Finnish stocks were not included in comparisons.... would be nice to see it in future videos. Not only because I'm heavily invested in omxh25 but also as of general interest since according to some studies Finnish stock market has been the best performer in the long run...
Rubbish!!
@@crimsonpirate1710
What exactly is rubbish? The part about Finnish equity? Can't post links here, but google: yourself: "The Rate of Return on Everything, 1870-2015"...
Finnish equity has had the best returns on all periods in the study; 1870-2015 & 1950-2015 & 1980-2015. Quality companies with great dividends.
@pensioncraft as an economic collapse is predicted for 2024, is money invested in stocks and shares at risk? Would it be safer to move the money to Gold and silver?
i think it depends on how long you wish to invest for. If you have 25and up years remaining, the only thing you really have to worry about is societal collapse, esp if you've invested in S&P500 as an american. It is the most analysed index and with dollar cost averaging or lump sum investing there have been monty-carlo type simulations done and there is no point whereby you would lose money after 25yrs of investing. You will also want to remember that when stocks and shares drop they are on sale, so your money buys more for future returns. This is just what ive learned from trying to teach myself financial literacy since last may. another phrase i like is time in the market beats timing the market.
Ive got S&P500, global mid and large cap and after this vid i think im going to add emerging markets, so 1/3rd each allocation, i also have 25+ years investing window.
No

Just hope China doesn't invade Taiwan.
@@george6977 if usa and taiwan choose the right leaders this year, combined with china's economic troubles, it might not happen at all. Even so, it wont be a case that kills the stock market for good, forever. It'll be a blip that might last up to a few years while the west re-routes it's supply chains. there'll be new winners and losers and it might be painful during that time, but the stock markets will recover as they always have.
It is only if money becomes truly worthless, as with a societal collapse, that we need to fear the stock market not bouncing back (or being destroyed entirely) as long term investors.
going through the pandemic global lockdowns eased ALOT of my anxiety around the stock market. the entire world's economies shut down that summer and STILL the stock markets bounced back. Far as i know that was a historical first, even during the worst depressions in history we had more goods and services chugging along
@@george6977 If China invades Taiwan the stockmarkets of the world will plummet. And then rise. All crashes are V-shaped. There has never been an L-shaped crash. But you sound cautious: invest in bank accounts for the peace of mind and the guarantee. The guarantee that you will be poorer in future than you are now.
What are some of the popular Islamic (shariah compliant) stocks or investment avenues?
I thought that it was impossible to lose all my money if I bought shares of companies in the USA, China, Russia, Brazil, Great Britain... But it turned out to be very easy to be left without my last shirt! Silicon Valley Bank, Revlon, Farfetch, First Republic Bank, Cineworld, Yandex, Avaya... and several Russian and Chinese companies.
