TLDR - great summary hahaha

Really insightful mate, thank you. Been debating investing in VWRL however I already hold an S & P ETF, no longer stressing about missing out👍🏻

When I first started investing, my portfolio was like 70% SP500 and 30% mix of other index funds. I was collecting index funds like they were Pokémon. I decided that my decisions were based on emotions and whatever news I came across. So I only invest in 2. Global all cap and VHYL. I like dividends because of psychological impact on me and also the lack of volatility

Hi Toby, great vid!! Have you covered the best AI or Tech index funds?

I’m all in 100% the (newish) Invesco All World accumulating ETF. It’s a little bit cheaper than the Vanguard VWRP equivalent but obviously still a small fund at the moment. It’s great to buy whole shares for under a fiver rather than the nearly £100 VWRP!

Like the food analogy, luckily I've just eaten so not hungry after that. I do have a few ETFs but they're for different regions that cover N America, Europe, Japan and Emerging markets.. I like having a little control over the weighting in each region, but tend to usually just rebalance once a year.

Great video Toby thanks for posting. I’m about 3 years away from retiring. Currently I’m around 30% property, although I am in the process of selling that and will create a bond (specifically gilt) ladder, 5% cash, 65% equity (of which 65% is USA). I think I have a half decent spread to see me through…

I just keep it simple long term accumulation funds outperform income funds so VUAG will out perform VUSA and for low risk short term I use a money market fund. As for buying multiple index funds to me it doesn’t make any sense to a global fund because it’s more expensive and the market cap weighting means that any gains from smaller companies will be so small it doesn’t move the needle enough.

Hi Toby - great video; trying to simplify my portfolio and have used last 2 year's ISA allowance on Vanguard across 5 index funds to mimic global fund but have older ISA and pension accounts (not in Vanguard) that are invested across a wide range of funds (active and passive). Following on from your insights in this video I want to easily see what my whole portfolio is invested in and thus need a portfolio analysis tool - is there anything you'd recommend? Not sure there is a good free to use one and thus may need to purchase one. Thanks in advance.

If you've identified that fund alone meets your needs then it is not wrong. If however you wish to geographically diversify while being 100% equities, then you're currently missing emerging markets and the UK. As there is also no small cap coverage, that's another area currently missing. All together, this may take up about 15-20% of new allocations within the the entire equities porfolio, if matching with say the all-cap index. If not wanting 100% equity, then high quality government bonds are usually seen as a diversifier. Your portfolio ahould match your aims, time horizon and risk appetite, which you'll need to work out to know how to proceed. Good luck.

If on average you can get 10% from investing in an index ETF that tracks the S&P 500 do you need more than 1 ? Even global funds are heavily weighted with the big American companies so it makes little point to pay the slightly higher fees for these funds, investing in the top 500 US companies is enough diversification for me,

Personally im just sticking with the S&P 500. I think there's definitely potential in the future for the US to be outperformed by other markets, but I just don't see any other economy unseating the US for the next 20 years or so. Of course, I could be completely wrong, but it's a risk I'm comfortable with. I've been told for years now that the US market is too expensive and I should just buy a global tracker, but had I done so I'd have missed out on a significant amount of gains.

I'm strongly inclined to agree with you. Although unlikely in my opinion, if another market such as China were to overtake the US eventually, it would take many decades to reach that point, and being knocked down to the second or third largest economy in the world is no great shame.

My investment goal is not to make as much money as possible. My goal is to beat RPI by 2%pa on average over many decades. I did this so I can match my contributions to my expected future cash flow. I'm 25 years in and managed to achieve +3.2% pa over that period. Using mostly FTSE 100 and more recently, s&p. So I won't be changing my strategy unless that long term average falls below my 2% target. I review every three months so I should get early warning indicators.
