I am looking to invest in ETFs with a sit and forget approach for the long term (10-15 years), ultimate goal being to semi retire early. So far during my research, I like the sound of the following ETFs due to low fees, diversification and good long term returns with reliable fund managers.
A200 (40%)
VEU (30%)
IVV (20%)
IJH (5%)
IJR (5%)
This would give me exposure to most global markets.
What do you guys think?
OP is going to jail
"Finfluencers" need to get a real job now.
We can only hope someone comes for the rest of the influencers soon! 🤞
Luckily cypto isn't enforced.
Bitcoin and celcious stakjng
exposure to most global markets
VGS is the vanguard global index. Australia only makes up a small percentage of global share market.
This is in disregard to your personal circumstances. Also not advice to buy. I don't hold any of VGS.
5% in CRYP
Serious question.
OP, are you good at your job and do you value the resources (time) you put in to do it properly?
@rektrading
Serious answer, yes I think I am and this was acknowledged recently by my employer with more $$$. I do value my time hence why I want to park money in ETFs and spend time on things I enjoy doing!!
👍
My work is to turn money into more money. I don't enjoy it, I love it.
There's not a snowball's chance in hell that I would let someone else take away the pleasure of doing something I love and charge me a fee for doing it.
A200 (40%)
VEU (30%)
IVV (20%)
IJH (5%)
IJR (5%)
BTW Do you know the best performing ticker for each of the ETFs on your list?
I expect my cult followers to neg this. I'll 😭pto if I don't get at least -15.
"It'll be a type of validation if people tell me I'm doing a shitty thing, and it will definitely say more about them than it will about me".
With that many deflections, you should try out as a goalkeeper for the Socceroos.
@rektrading: "Naked discussion on my faults, centering around the level of deflections I stoop to? What a perfect time to discuss something else instead! Loading conversation topic 1 of 1: crypto"
Not an fa . My backtested strategy is 30% gold and 70%index . I made it bit aggressive by adding crypto
Gives 30% APY YOY to me
What do you mean by 70% index? like a total stockmarket etf or?
I'm a fan of a DCA strategy of VAS(40%) / VGS(60%). Broad exposure, low fees, simple, classic. Maybe throw in 5% CRYP or ACDC for a higher risk/reward component too.
this isnt financial advice
just 1;3
VAS;VSG
I am not convinced about A200 and IVV with main points as follows:
- AUS is on a messed up politically driven road to stagflation (we are in big troubles up folks, get you bunkers ready)
- Natural resources boom will probably not last long given that all large economies driven by clearly-thinking leaders have started tightening and Russian-Ukrainian crisis will be resolved probably sooner than later with some sanctions (most vital resources) relaxed
- As mentioned above, US started choking off their unsustainably overheated economy and I see no point in IVV
- There will be no Fed put this time round (I would give them 6 months)
VEU could do just fine.
Would you consider going after developing economies - Chile, Argentina, China?
China's tech and growth stocks look tempting if you have stomach for it.
China will grow (Xi said so, hence it's a law)
NOT a financial advice of course and other blah about losing money.
Gm fam,
Breaking news
Bitcoin ETFs get the green light
The clearing house controlling access to the country’s equity capital markets will give the go-ahead for the first bitcoin ETF after enough market participants agreed to tough margin requirements.Apr 19, 2022 – 6.38pm
The first test of mass Australian retail demand for crypto will happen next week with the listing of the country’s first bitcoin ETF on the Cboe equities trading venue.
There is speculation $1 billion will flow into the country’s first bitcoin ETF.

Enjoy.
Wow….waiting for it to list on selfwealth
This actually might be bearish news for BTC.
That kind of hype is when whales exit and pass their assets onto retail.
I think "BTC new vehicle" hype is now over-rated - a few options have been available for serious funds for some time already and now it will mostly retail that will flock into new ones. The wall of money have come and gone.
Also, the spread might be a killer given high margin requirements.
But best of luck by all means.
To no be all doom and gloom - this will be positive for liquidity, more participants - less volatility (until something breaks).
ETF hodl spot Bitcoin. There is no room to cheat or manipulate the shot market using ETF.
The next stop is Australian pension funds buying the ETF.
There are plenty of ways to manipulate markets but that's not what I meant.
Any extra liquidity coming through etf will be absorbed by selling in the underlying. This is exactly what the whales need to exit or money funds to re-balance.
@ALesha77: On-chain data show that whales are doing the opposite of what you're saying.

@rektrading: Its not about what they are doing now.
As I have said, every retail ETF coming into the market has been an exit moment for fund manager and asset holders.
This likens to an IPO where early accredited investors get a gate large enough and liquid enough to finally exit with or re-balance their position.
Just a nature of this business.
@ALesha77: I don't know how much experience you have with OCA. I'll post on the assumption that you have some knowledge of OCA.
The Bitcoin network is 100% transparent. Bitcoin whales cannot hide their Tx to and from CEX. The market has crypto quants and bots tracking their wallets 24/7/365. The bots feed data to MM, CEX, other whales and CT so that they can front-run or put SL.
There are also sites that link API to CEX to pull live data like short/longs, puts/calls, funding rates, liquidation, CEX order books, etc. The whales can run but they can't hide.
You can see the rich list.

It's easy to see that the 100s of wallets that have 1000s of Bitcoin belongs to hodlers and not fund managers/traders.
This likens to an IPO where early accredited investors get a gate large enough and liquid enough to finally exit with or re-balance their position.
The "IPO" was in 2009 and he's not selling.
@rektrading: I think you still don't get what I am saying.. that's all right, just demonstrates the "tunnel vision".
Ok, I will explain one last time (and yes, I understand the "transparency" of blockchain but ONLY when you know where to look :) )
Anyhow, my point is in a totally different category to your observations and it is a "macro" or market-structure thing.
All large players AND specifically large players in the low-liquidity markets NEED additional injections of BATCHED liquidity (when a large chunk of money comes in at once or in batches). They always view this as means to exit or rebalance. Especially now when central banks have tightened and bonds yields are skyrocketing and there is less and less liquidity sloshing around. In this environment announcement of another dumb RETAIL ETF is heaven-sent green-lit sign saying "EXIT".
Nothing to do with on-chain analytics.
And to cover your point and about the OCA - if anyone and everyone can see it, for me this stops being a measure and becomes a way of manipulation. YES, you can see the moves but this transparency will be used against the herd BECAUSE (look up) whales need liquidity.
Everything comes down to market structure and players incentives vs capacity. OCA is just a tool that anyone can see.
@ALesha77: You think an Aussie ETF will do anything to the BTC market overall? I'm with rekt on this. But I need she/her/his/them/they to get back to using emjois.
@Soluble: Read the booklet - this ETF is a fund of funds with most allocation to Canadian ETF that has full exposure to the thing itself.
Edit
I think that ASIC just issued new rules around giving unqualified advice on the internet on investments.
