Opportunity cost is a completely a legitimate line of inquiry regarding any consumer purchase. The higher the expense, the more interesting that becomes.

The quizz idea would be great

Are there non cap-weighted index funds? What would be the purpose of that?

@chrissoventa5055

for example: there are equal weighted index funds (e.g. S&P500 equal weighted), DFA and Avantis index funds are only partly cap weighted (they overweight certain stocks based on characteristics)....

I think they're just surprised you have the ability to grow hair. Your well-sourced data is plenty interesting regardless of follicles. No worries

I’m looking at getting into low-cost index investing for the first time and thinking about purchasing some vanguard total market etfs on Wealthsimple? I know the specific etfs I would like but I’m wondering if there’s a lower cost broker you would recommend?

How would I invest in pwl capital.

Why dividends?

ACWI is 88.5% global stocks and 11.5% EM so your portfolio resembles that with an overweight to EM and some other things. Looks reasonable.

@@Martin-qb2mw thanks for saying that it looks reasonable, I needed someone to tell me this :) Please note I am also overweight in small caps. I like to think that this is my exposure to size factor. But what do I know.

Why is tracking error a problem? If you have no reason to know if one fund would do better than another.... Then who cares?

tracking error introduces behavioural risks. many people are just gonna sell what isn't working and those people should not factor invest.

@@zzzzzzzzzzz6 Yes, to me the prevalence of poorly informed day traders and junky small growth stocks is a good argument for some degree of factor slants. Factor slants tend to hold me weight in less-sexy, but still highly profitable small companies and have less weight in flashy, potentially over-hyped tech stocks. To me that seems like a good thing. As I like to think about it, the market is only as rational and efficient as all investors, and some aren't.
