    i started putting money into trading212, not having a clue i used an automatic pie and they put it in bonds etc and i didnt realise that some are actually terribly performing and not stable at all!. i would've left the money like this for months if not years if it wasn't for you. you have taught me a lot just in a short amount of time and i have now sold everything and decided to invest into the s&p 500. I lost £200 but its worth changing it now rather than later! ill add £16k into the s&p tomorrow. thank you so much!!! earned a subscriber 😁

      Absolutely welcome, just don't think that I'm giving out financial advice 😅. It's all still a risk at the end of the day, but the S&P 500 had proven to be a great investment (so far). £200 might hurt now, but we all learn from our mistakes, and then it feels like nothing.

    • @Dr.JubairsFinance
      @Dr.JubairsFinance  8 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks Lara. If its outside of your ISA, you still have to pay dividend tax if you exceed the thresholds. I'm not sure how that is calculated though. If you're a beginner, not much to worry about at this stage, you'll have to be making over £500 just in dividends to have to pay tax. Hard to do with the S&P 500.

      @larabaio3748 if you bought the Accumulation and not the Income version there won't be any dividends. Only a Capital Gains tax when and if you cash in by selling some or all of your holding. There's allowances and different % bands for that which depend on what tax bracket the rest of your income puts you in. It's all on the gov website.

    • @Dr.JubairsFinance
      @Dr.JubairsFinance  7 месяцев назад

      Technically, you have to pay dividend tax, even on accumulating ETFs.
      Income reinvested in accumulation units is known as a 'notional distribution', and is taxable in exactly the same way as the income from income units.

    Hi Jubair. Thank you for such detailed content, really appreciate it. Still learning and a beginner here. Could you expand on how long term hold or short term hold play in mind could also be a variable in picking an index fund ETF? For long term hold would you say that S&P 500 mutual fund rather than an S&P 500 ETF is the better option? Thank you~

    • @Dr.JubairsFinance

    Hello, I cannot find a straight answer to this question, it would be great if you can help: I understand the difference between ETFs and Index Funds (traded all day vs traded once per day) however, the the majority of videos demonstrating how to invest in an index fund, do so via an ETF. Why is this? Is it not possible to invest directly into an Index Fund from the UK? or if it is, why does everybody seem to use an ETF instead? It's hard to articulate the question clearly without a better understanding. But essentially, everyone seems to have a video explaining the difference between an ETF and an Index Fund, as if you can choosing to invest in one OR the other, but then everyone (in the UK) is investing in Index Funds that ARE(?) ETFs? Thanks for your help.
