This is a a really thorough, easy to follow explanation. Good use of examples and comparisons. I for one watched your video on hedged vs unhedged. People need to know these things out is important and where ETF is domiciled as there's tax implications as well.
Solid info Sanjee, from a fellow Melburnian. Answered a lot of questions I was looking for quite fruitlessly until now. Also balanced and reasoned argument toward the end regarding which EFT to go for. Looking very forward to the VGS and VGAD video!
Great video mate. The only thing to add I think is that what you do with currency hedging should depend on where you plan to live long term. Let’s say you live in Australia and know you want to be there your whole life, it seems most sensible to buy the S&P500 for example on a platform that buys and sells it in AUD. That way the exchange rate becomes irrelevant to the buying power of your money in Australia. If you’re someone of a conservative style already investing in index funds I don’t see the sense in starting to try to predict exchange rate
Thank you for your video, subscribed. Can you please make a video on, how to analyze particular stocks or ETFs? (means how to pick a stock?) what will we have to look for before buying any stock? how do you do your analysis? .
Great video and great explanation. Sanjee, the video at the 9:10 mark, I think you may have explained this the wrong way around. I think the correct explanation as to why IHVV went up in value was in-fact because the AUD currency went down in value against the USD, rather than because the AUD currency went up, as you said. So in summary, IHVV will out-perform IVV when the AUD currency goes down against the USD, and conversely IVV will out-perform IHVV when the AUD currency goes up against the USD. Sanjee can you please confirm this?
Hi Sanjee Enjoy your style of simple explanation. I would appreciate your thoughts on the etf IOO , and any alternates like QUAL. Qlty Suggestion . Can you do a show on if you win 250000 dollars today, how would you suggest going about investing this in today’s Market with a view of investing for 5 years at least.
Awesome video sanjee! I was wondering if there are any drawbacks to investing in too many ETFs, would it be better to spread my money over several ETFs or focus on 1-2?
Trading is very risky and as such, advice to demo trade for a while or contact a professional just like *Sandra* *Yvonne* *Webster* Pls do your own research *DYOR*
Hi Sanjee, Love your videos! I was wanting to invest in a small caps ETF (eg VSO), but not sure which one to use, and would love to see a similar video on this topic
Sanjee, something else to mention that's a real consideration, is that the ATO impose some regulation on IHVV whereby any advantage achieved by means of the hedging (in the instance of an unfavourable AUD/USD current movement) is turned into an extra dividend payment on 30th June (EOFY), which in turns results in a sharp unit price correction. Note: You can the sharp price drop in the IHVV chart at 30th June 2021. This caught me by surprise as I was holding a IHVV position at this moment in time, and the large dividend was unwanted from a taxation point of view, as I was investing with the hope for higher capital gains instead (not high yield through dividends). Did anyone else (who was holding a position in IHVV) notice this at the EOFY? Does anyone have any more information/explanation about this?
Hi Sanjee, I may have posted this comment in another video but I'm thinking of getting IVV but I already have VGS. Is this too much of an overlap? My portfolio I'm looking to set up contains VGS, VAS and possibly IVV. Be good to hear your thoughts on this. Cheers Jet
Hi Sanjee, thanks for the video. IVV & SPY show same returns. Are these returns before or after fees? If after, then presumably higher fees don't matter?
Hi there, you'll need to check what your Super fund allows. I think each one is different. They'll usually say what is available through an "investment menu" of some sort.
Hi Sanjee, I am using Kuvera app and I invest in Indian market for now mainly in Nifty 50 Index fund. I am confused on how to start investing similarly in Australia and which app would be best to invest and use for long term? Thank you.
Hi Sanjee, just so you are aware, there seems to be a scammer using your image and name. This person is responding to comments and giving out a California based WhatsApp number. Anyway, just wanted to ask about dividend yield. SPY has a higher yield than IVV. How does this affect the overall performance of these two?
Only time will tell! If you are bullish on tech then NDQ is the one for you, for more diversification and a broad spread of industry (but still tech heavy) then one of the S&P trackers
Buying through Vanguard will mean your holding is SRN not HIN. JPMorgan has been appointed as the sub-custodian to hold any listed securities in your Vanguard Personal Investor Account on your behalf. JPMorgan holds legal ownership of these listed securities subject to Vanguard’s direction, and you (the investor) retain beneficial ownership. But, no brokerage. So, depends what you value more…
Sanjee appreciate your sensible analytics, unlike most other Aussie finance youtubers who only talk about click-baity topics.
Thanks! Appreciate it!

Yes i agree,more info on franking please.

Looking very forward to the VGS and VGAD video!
Thank you! First time viewer and you answered all my questions
Great explanation and thank you for the table format comparing the various options! :)
Can you do a comparison video between S&P500 etf, VAS and VGS? Risk vs Return graph.

Mate, your explanation is outperforming the rest of the Australian youtubers!
No homo, but I’ll always choose your videos 🤓
Thank you for your video, subscribed.

Thanks Pratik, I'll add it to the list. Great suggestion.

Vas vgs the best one I learn from my video thax sanjee

Awesome video Sanjee
Great content, man. Well done.

She trades like she owns the market, I have watched her live trading session and it's amazing‼️🙌
Thanks mate.
Hi Sanjee, Love your videos!
I was wanting to invest in a small caps ETF (eg VSO), but not sure which one to use, and would love to see a similar video on this topic
Hey just wondering what is the best ivv etf to buy the Australian one or the US one? What's the diffrence I'm confused
Love how you put this together, great analysis 👍
Thanks so much!
Hi Sanjee,
I just set up a Revolut account and it has the option to invest in VOO (along with other S&P 500 funds). What are your thoughts on this?
How would you hedge Australian ETF base don SPX index? with SPX options in USA? but they trade at diff hours and the Australian ETF will be in AUD
Sanjee, something else to mention that's a real consideration, is that the ATO impose some regulation on IHVV whereby any advantage achieved by means of the hedging (in the instance of an unfavourable AUD/USD current movement) is turned into an extra dividend payment on 30th June (EOFY), which in turns results in a sharp unit price correction.

Did anyone else (who was holding a position in IHVV) notice this at the EOFY? Does anyone have any more information/explanation about this?
did you get the answer from anybody
Thank you for the video and I just wonder if there is a stock data related company called "Boss Data" in Australia?
Another good video Sanjee. Is there an ethical Australian domiciled ETF that covers the ESG subset of the S&P 500? Any others that get close?
Hi Sanjee, I may have posted this comment in another video but I'm thinking of getting IVV but I already have VGS. Is this too much of an overlap? My portfolio I'm looking to set up contains VGS, VAS and possibly IVV. Be good to hear your thoughts on this. Cheers

Thank you
Hi Sanjee, Could you do a video comparing VGS vs VAN0003AU?
Hi Sanjee, thanks for the video. IVV & SPY show same returns. Are these returns before or after fees? If after, then presumably higher fees don't matter?
Anything videos on cmc markets/invest
Great info Sanjee. Can I ask you if I can invest in any of these through an Industry Super fund? Thanks.
Hi there, you'll need to check what your Super fund allows. I think each one is different. They'll usually say what is available through an "investment menu" of some sort.
Hi Sanjee, I am using Kuvera app and I invest in Indian market for now mainly in Nifty 50 Index fund. I am confused on how to start investing similarly in Australia and which app would be best to invest and use for long term? Thank you.
How are these similar to a spaceships or raiz portfolio?? Fee wise etc.. and would these be fislry ismialr to a VDHG?
Worth mentioning SPY is US domiciled as well. Great vid though
Great point, thanks James!
Why when I search IVV on comsec does it say 52 week high $667 but the current price is $38? Am I missing something
It had a split before you posted your comment
Hi Sanjee, just so you are aware, there seems to be a scammer using your image and name. This person is responding to comments and giving out a California based WhatsApp number.
Anyway, just wanted to ask about dividend yield. SPY has a higher yield than IVV. How does this affect the overall performance of these two?
I was just about to comment and ask this, did you end up finding out?
I read it somewhere SPDR has higher liquidity and is often used for day traders?
correct
Which is better investment, Nasdaq 100 or S&P 500 ETF?
Only time will tell! If you are bullish on tech then NDQ is the one for you, for more diversification and a broad spread of industry (but still tech heavy) then one of the S&P trackers
How do I sign up to the mailing list?
Is there a difference between buying Vanguards ETFs through commsec or opening a Direct Account with Vanguard Australia?
Vanguard dont charge brokerage
@@josephnachar Thanks Mate.
