Stockspot Vs Six Park Vs Vanguard ETF - VDGR Diversified Growth Index

I'm currently looking at different Automated Investing Managed Funds rather than managing it myself and have stumbled across the forum threads below.

From what I've read, it appears that Stockspot fees are quite high and that Six Park offers a well diversified portfolio. However, Vanguard ETF - VDGR Diversified Growth Index will probably offer similar returns to the two but with much lower fees.

I would greatly appreciate hearing other's thoughts on and experiences with Stockspot, Six Park and Vanguard ETF - VDGR Diversified Growth Index.

  • If you're not nearing retirement, VDGR is too conservative and maybe be better off with VDHG

    Personally I'm all in on VTS.

      VTS is domiciled in the US - have you instead considered IVV which is domiciled in Australia? Fee is only marginally higher on IVV (0.04% vs 0.03%). It also results in the return being higher in IVV vs VTS due to tax.

        good idea. mostly because lazy. afaik after the W-8BEN, the tax works out to be the same.

        IVV has been performing better too :{

        • As you know both funds replicate the S&P 500 - I'm not 100% sure on why IVV is returning higher but I note that it's performance figures are higher than VTS since IVV was domiciled in Australia so I assumed that the difference was a result of tax.

          Effective 7 September 2018, the Fund was restructured from a U.S. domiciled ETF to an Australian domiciled ETF. Performance figures shown prior to this date are based on the NAV of the U.S. domiciled iShares ETF converted from USD to AUD. Performance figures shown after this date are based on the NAV of the Australian domiciled iShares ETF in AUD. The restructure did not impact underlying exposures.The Fund’s benchmark is calculated gross of withholding tax prior to the restructure and net of withholding tax after the restructure.

          Personally I'm split four ways - IVV, IJH, IVV and NDQ.
