Wondering whether it maybe good to do a video on inheritance, like a lum sum, property etc For many they would want to learn to navigate the options available. It's rather a lot to think about given someone close has passed away. Having a video for those people to turn to maybe good. A difficult subject as you don't want to provide specific financial advice but a range of options / implications 👍
One suggestion I saw which could be useful if there is more than one beneficiary is to have a clause in your will "the house will be sold". Speaking from experience here.
Just to add, it would be interesting to know if Ramin ever gets involved in such things. My late parents will was written by a IFA. I will never know if a solicitor would have been a better choice. When my Mother died we paid a different IFA from the same company £6000 to sort everything out. That was money well spent as the inheritance tax was actually about £20000 less than I had calculated. A final comment is that due to fiscal drag more and more people will be paying inheritance tax without some forward planning.
That asset class chart is amazing, so many things Ive never researched like structured deposits etc. Unfortunately, many are not exactly available to me
could you do a video on investing in India? There are banks like ICICI that have mutual funds that have done very well. These are managed by prudential.
Unless you are Warren Buffett, it seems like the smartest/most realistic strategy is to try to increase your income and just invest the surplus to index funds…One less thing to worry about in life
What do you do when Index Funds (S&P500, for example) are at an all-time high in terms of PE Shiller ratio? Lets say you have a lump sum of $150k to invest. What do you do then?
That is exactly what Warren has recommended a few times and has specified in his will. To give my answer to the second persons question look at Pound (Dollar) Cost Indexing.
Great video, Ramin. I'm a big fan of factor investing and I completely agree with you regarding quality. It is the most convincing factor and seems like it'll be the easiest to stick to over the long term. I use quality factor ETFs for the core of my portfolio and I consider other factors, such as value and momentum, to work better as small satellite positions given they seem to have long periods of significant underperformance.
Bogle found US value and US growth produced comparable returns over the long term but investors bought and sold at the worst times so underperformed the fund's return. They would have been better off just owning the broad market.
@george6977 interesting, thanks George. I find factors don't seem to work as well for the US market in general. The data is much more convincing on a global level.
@minasmina2700 yep, it is a shame but I make do in absence of an MSCI World Quality tracking ETF! For non sector neutral quality ETFs, there is UC99. But this is USA only and not the developed world as a whole. The day an ETF tracking MSCI World Quality comes out will be a beautiful day!
Ramin, at the start you mentioned equal-weighted index ETFs en passant: have you ever covered historical performance of them? I've been shifting some of my standard (cap-weighted) global index stocks to S&P500/global equal-weighted index ones. There seem to be only a handful of equal-weighted global/world index ETFs in the market. I'm shifting quite slowly because I hate the idea of timing the market. But (predictably no doubt) on the negative front I do think all this AI nonsense is pretty frothy, and on the positive equal-weight is said to favour value.
Fun fact: market beta is also a Fama & French factor, so by investing in a simple global stock ETF, you are technically factor investing! It also means you HAVE TO believe in other F & F factors, as they are part of the same theory! 😎
Today, the first United States pension fund officially allocated 5% of its holdings to bitcoin. This highlights the need to revisit those things we were once convinced of. Said Mark Twain, "It's not what we don't know that hurts us, it's what we know for certain that just ain't so… "
It would be a bit difficult to dig out charts dating back fifty or one hundred years for that unless you included things like Tulip Mania, which admittedly probably made some people very rich.
lol but the proper analogy would be a Guy who had a lucky escape from a gold digger and is warning other guys off that girl so they don’t get ripped off.
I’m want to invest in things I believe in and care about. How do I make sure my money is going to things I support? Like ethical food production, quality housing, etc?
Keep the investing simple and use your gains to support the causes you want. When you invest it's a very indirect way of supporting businesses - most of your money is going to the person selling the shares rather than the company itself.
There are active funds that invest in this way. This is how I invest, personally. I prefer to divest from companies that are not aligned with my values. These funds still make good returns and these gains can also be used to directly support the causes you want.
I think another video idea which may take you a long time. But videos on each different online platform. How to invest in stocks / funds and bonds per platform - each has a different nuisance - for instance vanguard unit price is annoying imo/ usability is rather poor considering they have aroubd 800,000 uk users. When I first started this journey years ago, if only I'd found something like that - break down the layers so new investors can have a simpler time. To pick the platform that suited me. Knowing about CFD vs isa investing I started making a list of all the things I've learnt but mostly mistakes from buying single equities / lessons. 7 years in, its pretty broad 😂 9% of the UK are investing their money, where as 30% USA - it seems baffling how few consider it important. Likely because they see it as gambling, which single equities are imo.
still one of the best on RUclips . thank you Ramin!
Thank you @winthir
