Hello Angelo, I've been watching your videos with interest and I came to the conclusion that it's a lot safer to invest in ETFs than in individual stocks however, I'm finding that some ETFs like the XLK aren't available to European customers, is there a database where one can look for equivalents available to EU residents?
Hi Angelo, thanks for your videos. I was looking into buying index funds as opposed to ETFs, in case I do want to make a change from one index fund to another one (which, if I understand correctly, does not generate a capital gains and is not taxed until it is eventually converted into cash). Are there index funds alternatives to this for people living in Europe? I'm referring to for example VTSAX vs VOO.
Very instructive and to the point.For a complete novice like me you're videos remove a lot of confusion! Thank you for the nice work and greetings from Belgium.
Great breakdown! I really appreciate this information and how you convey it. As it goes, I'm a new investor and I have also chosen VWCE as my 1-ETF strategy. I follow a similar investment approach as you (core-satelite) with 80% of my investable funds in VWCE and the rest in other "context based" investments.
Hehe that B-roll was awesome, hope you had fun doing it. Great video! I'm sticking to VWCE too, it is performing very well especially lately and the fees are small enough
Happy to hear that! I did at the time, it was actually from an old video of mine (I'd love to do more b-roll though): ruclips.net/video/Cyzyj-K6U0k/видео.html Thank you, same here :)
I would really like a video where you explain what makes an ETF qualify as an ESG one, and how the decisions are made to include and exclude holdings to an ESG ETF
Thanks for the quality video Angelo. I’ll stick with my MSCI ACWI. The performance is more or less identical to VWCE. It has less holdings but a slightly lower TER. I’m surprised it didn’t get an honorable mention in the video. Cheers!
Hi Dave, my pleasure as always! Thanks for mentioning it, it could easily have made the list as well. The reason I didn't spend time on it is because I feel like the SPDR MSCI ACWI IMI stole its thunder after lowering the TER to 0.17% and offers something extra (Small Cap) over the other ETFs on the list. The iShares MSCI ACWI is still an excellent ETF I would have zero issues holding indefinitely as well!
@@AngeloColomboFi thanks as always Angelo! I think the number one thing to remember is that over the long term, ie, more than 20 years, these ETFs will jostle for position and the TER will reflect that. If you continually invest into any of these global ETFs over the long term you’re going to come out of it very well. Looking forward to your next vid already. Cheers!
I agree, we're already on the right path by going with broad-based, passive, low-cost ETFs in the first place (over expensive active funds etc.) and our ETF's expense ratios will keep being lowered over time
At 8:18 you said you will keep your Vanguard shaes and not invest in the SPDR MSCI ACWI IMI due to tax reasons in Austria, which made me curious as I am Austrian myself. Is the reason just that it does not make sense to switch any ETF due to Kapitalertragssteuer or do you has it actually something to do that you get tax benefits with vanguard compared to SPDR ACWI?
Great video Angelo! For a 5 to 10 years time horizont, and with the VWCE DCA every month until forever, could the VUAA be a good pick to add with 75/25 % strategy (VWCE/VUAA)? Thank you
Thank you! You would simply be increasing your US exposure from 61% (VWCE) to 71%, while decreasing everything else further (Europe, Asia etc.). Is that the idea? In that scenario, it may make more sense to skip EM and just buy the FTSE Developed World or MSCI World instead (70% US currently).
@@AngeloColomboFi The idea is that i assume that for the next 10 years, USA will still be the powerhouse in the market, and then i wil just stay with the other strategy of VWCE. Thank you for your reply
Ciao Angelo, thank you for the Video... As always great insights for people like me that want to start. Would you ever make a short video about the Austrian taxation? As a non german speaker living in Austria I find it very challenging to understand. Thank you and keep up
@AngeloColomboFi In Ireland, Irish investors have to pay a 41% exit tax on ETFs profits or pay 41% on unrealised gains every 8 years. (An archaic law called Deemed Disposable). Although, Stock is only taxed on exit at 33%. For that reason, I'm thinking of creating my own ETFs with stock, AKA, replicating an Index with fractional shares. I would love to see you attempt this and show us how. Perhaps you'd benefit from it in Austria as well.
Hello Angelo thank you for the great videos for non USA investors. I was wondering in regard investing in Vanguard FTSE All-World Acc. (VWCE) which is domiciled in Ireland can you please clarify if I understand correctly you buy shares directly in EUROS without converting to USD ? If I understand correctly the main reason for all investors out of USA is to choose ETF domiciled in Ireland because of taxes? I am using IBKR and I bought some VOO and SCHD and also some dividend stocks and expectedly I was automatically taxed 30 % on dividend gains. Thank you once again.
Fill in the W-BEN form and submit it to Interactive Brokers to claim the taxation treaty between your country - if eligible - and the United States to pay 15 instead of 30 % taxes.
Hey Angelo, Bulgarian fan and subscriber here. How would you invest 100k at the moment in one ETF strategy + 1k monthly savings? Would you split it in 12 (more/less) or would you invest it as a lump sum?
I wish I had the perfect answer, but in the end you simply need to do whatever makes you less anxious: ruclips.net/video/yOWAhL6MFF8/видео.html I probably would't push it beyond 6 equal monthly investments personally.
Ho rivisto questo interessantissimo video e mi ha fatto riflettere sulla mia strategia. Nello specifico lo spostamento di almeno un etf-asse del portafoglio sulla versione ad accumulo (per evitare le tasse, anche se, a ben vedere, non incidono granchè sul risultato complessivo perchè i dividendi sono bassi). Ed anche l'opzione di non vendere gli etf attuali, ma affiancare quello nuovo, su cui si sposterebbero le aggiunte per accumulare.
No, that wouldn't mean more profit, rather I'd waste some money on currency exchange fees. I always buy them directly in EUR on Interactive Brokers angelo.fi/ibkr and Trade Republic angelo.fi/trep

Thanks as always for great video, Angelo! I’m with the FTSE all world
SPDR is replicating the index using a method called optimized sampling, where not all stocks are purchased (especially the smallest ones): www.justetf.com/en/academy/physical-replication-of-etfs.html
Thank you! It's simply more tax-efficient based on my calculations when looking at Austrian tax data. If you send me a short email I can send you more info on how ETF taxes work here: angelo.fi/mail
Hi Angelo, thank you for your great content. I love your videos, they teach me more about ETFs in a shorter amount of time than I could have possibly learnt without your channel. However I was wondering if you could also make a video about green/sustainable (in terms of environment, not finance) ETFs. For me, and probably many more people, it's important not to invest in things like fossil fuels. A slightly lower interest is worth that peace of mind. Perhaps you can make a video on decently performing sustainable ETFs? Thank you for considering!
Thank you! Sadly I haven't seen global ex-US ETFs that are domiciled in Europe. You could buy a few ETFs covering different regions instead: ruclips.net/video/dFl7KMLlgOU/видео.html
Maybe just me, but I feel a little bit guilty if I invest in EM. We all saw what happen with Russia…China is also unpredictable…Or maybe need to read less news😁 Good job Angelo!
Yeah, but the organic demand is going to be gigantic. Just imagine what would happen if China and/or India forbade Apple from selling iPhones in their territory and only sold local phones. The amount of population they have is gigantic, and the way the world is de-globalizing will make a big impact in the future
You both make some solid points. I wish there was an easy, clear answer as in "include EM to increase returns" or "just buy developed", but sadly it's a bit more complicated and there's no way to know what will pay off more: ruclips.net/video/N-Of7ow3M_E/видео.html In the end, EM are just 10% of the All-World or ACWI IMI, so you could treat it as sort of an insurance. If India, China etc. take off you'll be glad you're invested and if not then the EM share in those ETFs will decrease further.
Hi Angelo, great video as always! Quick question, I have noticed you don't mention Index Funds in your channel, is there a reason? Just wondering because compared to ETF's you have better taxation rules, at least in Spain. Looking at options, the Vanguard Global Stock Index is a good alternative to the FTSE All World ETF with lower commissions, 0,18%. I'll appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you
Hi Miguel, that's because most people (me included) don't have access to index funds. And long-term most index funds have so far underperformed their ETF counterparts, as you can see in your example (Global Stock Index = MSCI World): www.fondsweb.com/at/vergleichen/ansicht/isins/IE00B03HD209,IE00B4X9L533 -> sorry about the German If you're planning on holding your investment long-term and not switching from one index fund to another on a regular basis, then I don't see the benefit of going with index funds in Spain.
@@AngeloColomboFi Hi Angelo, can you tell us why we can't access index funds. Im from Ireland. The ETF tax is 40%.and there is a rule where you must pay this tax every 8 years even if you don't realise gains!. It really turns me off investing. Especially when you compare it to the American tax rules. Thanks
Hi @@AngeloColomboFi, thank you for taking the time to answer to my comment, really appreciate your feedback on it. I completely agree that investing in index funds is less universal than on ETF's, here in Spain you can easily do it (fractional investment) with a Neobank called MyInvestor but there is not that many more options apart from them, I thought Interactive Brokers also had them but not sure. I have been following a very similar strategy to yours on the same ETF and will probably continue to do the same in the future, just wanted to get your input, Merry Christmas and thanks again.
Hello i've watched all your videos thank you for education , what do you think of VUSA as beginning investing in 1 ETF? Because the 188 euro per quantity is a bit too much for me.
My pleasure! You're excluding the rest of the world and only buying US stocks. If that's the plan, then VUSA is a good ETF! You can also buy fractional shares by the way using Interactive Brokers: ruclips.net/video/12g12UU8oPQ/видео.html or Trade Republic: ruclips.net/video/kjof8klveqc/видео.html
Thank you for the information, i'm in interactive brokers, i've tried to buy fractional shares on some of them but it taxes me more for it. I'll look more into it maybe i've missed something.@@AngeloColomboFi
Wow really interesting videos... I really like this aproach. But I have a question... why when you talk about MSCI ACWI Index ETFs you dont consider iShares MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF USD (IE00B6R52259) like an alternative? is something in line with your explanation or I miss something?
@@AngeloColomboFihi angelo. I get the idea of one global etf. But when I look at sp500 historical data over a large number of years is better than the vwce or similar etf. What is your opinion on sp500 investment strategy.? I understand the concentration risk, but when comparing ftes, most of them will follow the US economy tendency
Is it worth investing in all-world (ACWI) since some EM countries will move to MSCI World anyway (in fact, those that will move are "tested")? Of course, we will lose the moment of moving an EM country to DM (and that will be a big increase). Nevertheless, ACWI has about 10% EM, even if one country temporarily does +200% like India in 2007-2009, will it not increase the growth much? and EM will never be greater than 20% because these countries will automatically move to DM. What do you think?
Hi Angelo, when I take a look at the SPDR MSCI ACWI IMI ETF on JustETF, it says the ETF has 3017 holdings instead of the 9204 you mentioned which is said in the factsheet. Which statistic do I need to go by? If there are only 3017 holdings then I would rather buy the FTSE All-World which has more. Thanks, Rory
Hi Angelo, why are there different tickers for the Vanguard FTSE All World (Accumulating) on Interactive Brokers, and which one is the right one? (VWRL, VHVE, some other?)
Hi Angelo, pls can you make a video of ETFs to buy specially in the Real Estate Sector, Semiconductors sector, Tech sector, and the Energy sector? Thanks very much. Good job 👍
Hi Angelo, great video! if I have a large sum to invest, is there a difference between buying ftse all world as a lump sum with all my sum vs monthly installments? (Germany tax laws) thanks!
Thank you! Lump sum or monthly installments make no difference regarding taxes in Germany (or anywhere else). This video might help you decide: ruclips.net/video/yOWAhL6MFF8/видео.html

Hi Angelo, can you please tell me in short why do you consider the Vanguard ETF being better tax-wise than the SPDR one for investors in Austria? I see that both of them are located in Ireland and they share the same accumulating nature. I would use Flatex and any headsup would be appreciated 😉
Sure Matej! Generally, the 27,5% tax from the point of buying until you sell everything remains the same. But, since we're also taxed a bit during the holding period, I've spend quite some time comparing how much taxes we pay on each Accumulating ETF in Austria on a yearly basis and found Acc. Vanguard ETFs to be the most tax-efficient overall (2x better compared to the SPDR ACWI IMI ETF so far). You can look into the tax data here: my.oekb.at/kapitalmarkt-services/kms-output/fonds-info/sd/af/f
Great,@@AngeloColomboFi, I was looking for someone with exactly that question, the reason why you said that the FTSE All-World is more tax efficient in Austria. I understood your reasons and in addition to that, I saw that you probably lived the dilemma that is preventing me from starting to invest in Germany (where I currently live). From your answer I understood that in Austria, as well as in Germany, there is the Vorabpauschale for ETFs. I can’t find material in English that tells me what happens in practice, but here in Germany, in theory, this makes the Acc and Dist funds with the same amount of taxes, but with more complexity on the part of the Acc because you need to pay in advance. Isn’t it the same in Austria? The tool you used for this study has a German equivalent? Thank you very much.

@@AngeloColomboFi Thank you Angelo for the effort and for staying curious. You have a drink from me if/when see each other in Vienna 😉
Hi, Angelo. Thank you for these educative videos. I noticed that many of the ETFs you suggest have the USD as currency. Is it advisable to buy them with euro? Or is it better to find an ETF in euro already? Thank you for your answer
That's just the fund currency, which is irrelevant. You can buy/sell all of the ETFs directly in euros using IBKR and Trade Republic (linked above), which is what I do as well!
Hi all, if I try to buy some shares of VUSA (it is like that for almost every stock and ETF except for XDPU) the fees range from 1.25 to 2.55, do you know why? I already switched my account to tiering. I am a resident in Luxembourg. Thank you all!
What was the actual fee when you bought it? IB usually just shows a range when you place the order, but with me it was always the low amount once executed (1.25€). If you're paying more you can invest via a recurring investment, which gets you the lowest fee each time.
@@AngeloColomboFi ciao Angelo, thanks for the swift reply. The range is 1.25 - 2.55 for almost anything, whereas it is 1.25-1.32 for XDPU. I have been buying only XDPU so far
i opened an account on the uk website should i have opened one on the ie website can you explain the difference for me please. Im from bosina and herzegovina
Great video thank you. Can I ask 2 questions: 1. Would you consider the high dividend paying etf Vanguard Funds PLC VANGUARD FTSE WRLD HI DIV YLD UCITS ETF (VHYL) LSE? if not why not - it seems less weighted to the US Tech Stocks and gives a higher div. 2. If you thought Developed countries were going to be down for the next 10-15 years would you change your mind on your ETF choice and lean more to an ETF with higher emerging markets? Thank you very much
1. No, I prefer the default version (which has also performed way better long-term so far) as I don't want to prioritize companies only based on dividends 2. No, I'd stick to VWCE, see the share of EM stocks in the ETF increase on its own and be happy about the fact that I chose an ETF that includes EM
Thank you Angelo for this analysis of criteria but I always feel you leave out the most important thing in your various videos: expected returns!! How much will our money grow? How did your portfolio do over the last years?! Make us dream 🎉
Our ETF portfolio averaged 10% p.a. in returns since 2017, but you can see a bit more historical data for ETFs here: curvo.eu/backtest/en/portfolio/vwce--NoIgag6gwgoiA0xQEkYAY0CEDSBWTAigCoAcaCAjALo1A
Thanks for your useful videos. I know you after watching the live with Mr. Rip. What do you think in general about 80% SWDA + 20% AASI to replace VWCE? Does it make sense to you?
I'm assuming you're based in Greece? If so, it seems like neither are taxed (lucky you!) according to my short Google search: www.taxexperts.eu/en/an-overview-of-distributions-and-capital-gains-taxation-in-greece/
Was sagst du eigentlich zur Wertpapierleihe - ist ein Risiko das fast jeder ETF hat und bei kaum einen wird darauf hingedeutet dass die einfach die Wertpapiere verleihen. ?
Es wird immer nur ein kleiner Teil verliehen und dies immer gegen liquide Sicherheiten, die jeweils über 100% des Wertes haben, damit es selbst bei finanziellen Schwierigkeiten des Leih-Partners nicht zu Verlusten kommt. Das ganze verbessert unsere Rendite, da ein Teil der Erträge hiervon (oder alle, je nach Anbieter) in die Performance einfließen und so die Tracking Differenz verbessern. Ich hab also in diesem Kontext, innerhalb der ETFs null Probleme damit
Spdr msci acwi imi index etf available here in the UK is in Dollar denomination, so there will be some underlying currency charges unlike GBP de nominated etfs like ishares msci acwi etf, or Vanguard ftse all world etf etc. Also it looks like the ftse all world index and ftse dev world indexes don't have any small cap exposure just large and mid cap. Vanguard does a ftse global all cap index fund in the UK which tracks large, medium and small cap stocks across the dev and emerging markets
Angelo can you make a video about investment in ETFs for investors now living in Austria? You always say that investing from Austria is complicated, but can you explain it?
Only a small percentage of my viewers is in Austria, so a video wouldn't make much sense sadly. But if you send me a short email, I'm happy to send you more info! angelo.fi/mail

Hi Angelo, I appreciate your sincerity and your simplicity. I was wondering, why don't you diversify your ETFs, you seem to like SPDR MSCI World AND Vanguard All World. Instead of choosing one OR the other, why don't you buy both, you diversify your asset managers so reduce "the risk", and for free (you just keep buying one or the other). No need to do 50/50, it can be 80/20 or whatever. I remember Ray Dalio's portfolio with ETFs from all different asset managers. What do you think? I would like to know your opinion on it?
Happy to hear that! I don't really see the need to diversify fund providers, especially not when we're talking about well-known fund providers with a long history like Vanguard, Blackrock and SPDR and when they're physically holding the stocks within the ETF (so not synthetic SWAP-based ETFs). But if you feel better by adding a second fund provider, I don't see the harm of doing that either (if fees etc. are comparable)!
Hey, I'm complete beginner and I don't know which brokerage app/site would be mot safest and low fees if there is any of them in EU. I've learned/listening and overall educating myself about the market i also invested a lot in real estate and its debt free. Now I'd like to invest most of my cash from RE in the capital markets + my salary :)... and decided to invest in SPYI, VWCE,VOO or any other that would make sense. I'm looking to invest for the long term (25-40 years). I do not intend to sell unless something bad happens. I do not want to sell RE properties so I'm looking for something in the capital markets.
Ciao Angelo, volevo chiederti se secondo te ha senso avere in portfolio solo 2 ETF, Vanguard FTSE All-World e iShares MSCI World UCITS in percentuale 50/50, solo come differenziazione di prodotto.
Hi Matteo, I hope it's ok if I respond in English, otherwise others with the same question won't get any use out of it. I think there is nothing wrong with that split, you're basically adding 2,5% Small Cap (due to larger number of stocks in All-World) and 5% Emerging Markets compared to just holding an MSCI World that way.
Hi Angelo, maybe i dont understand fully this video (english not my main language). are this ETF comparison amongs EU based ETF only? Or Did you have compare it also to the other ETF accross the globe?
It is worth to mention that the "MSCI market classification framework" classify a country as "developed" or "emerging" taking into accounts 3 criteria: (i) sustainability of the economic development (GDP per capita); (ii) size and liquidity of the market; (iii) market accessibility criteria (policy and regulation of the market: how easy is to invest/disinvest? how stable is the policy and regulatory framework?)..... I think those are important elements to take into account while deciding to invest into Emerging Markets and evaluate risks. The name itself "Emerging markets" is a bit misleading, because not-too-aware investors may think that are countries that are emerging and growing very fast, which is not coherent with the MSCI market classification framework
The MSCI ACWI IMI is an awesome index for diversification. It is amazing that more fund managers don't follow it. I would definitely choose the SPDR ETF that tracks this index if I wasn't already invested in other global trackers.
Great video. I have some comments/questions. 1. what about choosing a tax free ETF such as the ones with UCITS? Are the ones you suggested tax free for Europe? 2. what about choosing an ETF which is in euro currency (not dollar) to reduce the risk of conversion exchange? The ones you suggested support buying them in euro? Thanks.
Thank you! I only talk about UCITS ETFs on the channel, so yes of course! I'm guessing you're based in Greece or Bulgaria? All the ETFs can be traded directly in euros, which is what I always do as well!
They seem to be operating more tax-efficiently within the fund, since that's relevant for how much we're taxed on a yearly basis in Austria when holding them. I'm happy to send you more details on ETF taxes in Austria if you shoot me a quick email: angelo.fi/mail
Hi Angelo! You are investing in a USD ETF when your savings are in EUR? Are you currently exposed to the USD/EUR movements or how does it work? Thanks a lot :)
The fund currency itself is irrelevant, it doesn't influence the value of the stocks within the ETF. We're always buying the ETF directly in EUR, so we're not paying currency exchange fees. Of course the euro getting stronger or weaker will still impact returns based on the countries you're exposed to via the ETF, but hedging against it is still not worth it long-term.
Ciao Angelo! Ho iniziato un pac su swda (non credo molto negli emergenti)… volevo chiederti se è una buona scelta… il mio orizzonte temporale è lungo (puoi rispondere pure in inglese😉)
Thanks a lot Angelo for the quality of the videos! Could you tell me more why Vanguard FTSE All World is more tax efficient in Austria? I live in Vienna too and I’m trying to understand the taxes with ETFs but it’s very difficult. I know for sure that accumulating ETF have the dividends taxed like the distributing ones. Is Vanguard treated different? Thanks a lot for your help 🙏🏻
Not a fan of ESG funds, where companies get included or excluded based on whatever some agency decides is ESG at the time. I'd definitely be interested in a normal version of the same ETF

Although, Stock is only taxed on exit at 33%. For that reason, I'm thinking of creating my own ETFs with stock, AKA, replicating an Index with fractional shares. I would love to see you attempt this and show us how. Perhaps you'd benefit from it in Austria as well.
Hello Angelo thank you for the great videos for non USA investors. I was wondering in regard investing in Vanguard FTSE All-World Acc. (VWCE) which is domiciled in Ireland can you please clarify if I understand correctly you buy shares directly in EUROS without converting to USD ? If I understand correctly the main reason for all investors out of USA is to choose ETF domiciled in Ireland because of taxes? I am using IBKR and I bought some VOO and SCHD and also some dividend stocks and expectedly I was automatically taxed 30 % on dividend gains. Thank you once again.
Fill in the W-BEN form and submit it to Interactive Brokers to claim the taxation treaty between your country - if eligible - and the United States to pay 15 instead of 30 % taxes.
Hi, what do you think of the MSCI World Momentum to hold as a single etf ?
THANKS Angeloooo! Ora dopo la live con Mr Rip devi farlo in italiano 😂😂😂
Hey Angelo, Bulgarian fan and subscriber here. How would you invest 100k at the moment in one ETF strategy + 1k monthly savings? Would you split it in 12 (more/less) or would you invest it as a lump sum?
I wish I had the perfect answer, but in the end you simply need to do whatever makes you less anxious: ruclips.net/video/yOWAhL6MFF8/видео.html
I probably would't push it beyond 6 equal monthly investments personally.
I am starting today. So I guess I'll have to pick one and stick to it as advised.
Ho rivisto questo interessantissimo video e mi ha fatto riflettere sulla mia strategia. Nello specifico lo spostamento di almeno un etf-asse del portafoglio sulla versione ad accumulo (per evitare le tasse, anche se, a ben vedere, non incidono granchè sul risultato complessivo perchè i dividendi sono bassi). Ed anche l'opzione di non vendere gli etf attuali, ma affiancare quello nuovo, su cui si sposterebbero le aggiunte per accumulare.
Hi angelo thanks for sharing. Do you convert eurow to dollars for more profit? Before you buy etfs? And in which platform do you buy?
No, that wouldn't mean more profit, rather I'd waste some money on currency exchange fees. I always buy them directly in EUR on Interactive Brokers angelo.fi/ibkr and Trade Republic angelo.fi/trep
Thanks as always for great video, Angelo!
I’m with the FTSE all world
You're welcome as always, Italo! Nice! 🥂
Are you in europe? And did you buy via trade republic the usd variant?
Hi I have a question regarding the difference between -> number of holdings vs number of constituents (SPYI -> 3017 vs 9000)
SPDR is replicating the index using a method called optimized sampling, where not all stocks are purchased (especially the smallest ones): www.justetf.com/en/academy/physical-replication-of-etfs.html
Great summary vid, very helpful for a beginner (me)
Thanks Angelo. Keep up the good work.
Good day Angelo, thank you for your insights in this awesome video. I believe it’ll be super helpful to long term investors. 😊
Thank you Vince, happy to hear that!
Does it make sense to invest in VWCE (EUR) when the underlying assets are mostly in USD? Why not choosing VWRA (USD) instead?
That's pretty much irrelevant, buy it in your local currency so you don't waste money on conversion fees
He lives in Austria and uses Euros.
Is it worht it to invest in the vanguard s&p500 and the ftse developed at the same time for diversification?
You're definitely not diversifying more by adding the S&P 500 - all of these US stocks are already included in the FTSE Developed World
@@AngeloColomboFi so you think the developed world is better than the s&p 500? Its gonna bring more gains in the next 5-10 years?
Great video! I also live in Austria and I was wondering why you said that Vanguard is better for taxes in Austria. Thanks again!
Thank you! It's simply more tax-efficient based on my calculations when looking at Austrian tax data. If you send me a short email I can send you more info on how ETF taxes work here: angelo.fi/mail
Hi @AngeloColomboFi, the SPDR ETFs shows as "Fonds" in the KID documents in Germany. Why is that? Isnt it a ETF and not a fund?
Nice dating analogy, it earned you a like and a sub
Hello! Great content! Is the combination of Vanguard developed world + emerging nations a good one, or should i just buy All World?
Thank you very much! Really really usefull as usual. Ciao
Happy to hear that!
Hi Angelo, thank you for your great content. I love your videos, they teach me more about ETFs in a shorter amount of time than I could have possibly learnt without your channel. However I was wondering if you could also make a video about green/sustainable (in terms of environment, not finance) ETFs. For me, and probably many more people, it's important not to invest in things like fossil fuels. A slightly lower interest is worth that peace of mind. Perhaps you can make a video on decently performing sustainable ETFs? Thank you for considering!
Great content. I live in Portugal but have a big chunk of my net worth in the USA in a ROTH. What is the best Int'l fund that excludes the US? Thanks
Thank you! Sadly I haven't seen global ex-US ETFs that are domiciled in Europe. You could buy a few ETFs covering different regions instead: ruclips.net/video/dFl7KMLlgOU/видео.html
Thank you and Happy New Year
Happy new year to you as well!
Thanks Angelo - another great Video!
Great video. Now we see that Amundis new WEBN is based in Ireland so that’s a no brainer right?
Maybe just me, but I feel a little bit guilty if I invest in EM. We all saw what happen with Russia…China is also unpredictable…Or maybe need to read less news😁 Good job Angelo!
Yeah, but the organic demand is going to be gigantic. Just imagine what would happen if China and/or India forbade Apple from selling iPhones in their territory and only sold local phones. The amount of population they have is gigantic, and the way the world is de-globalizing will make a big impact in the future
You both make some solid points. I wish there was an easy, clear answer as in "include EM to increase returns" or "just buy developed", but sadly it's a bit more complicated and there's no way to know what will pay off more: ruclips.net/video/N-Of7ow3M_E/видео.html
In the end, EM are just 10% of the All-World or ACWI IMI, so you could treat it as sort of an insurance. If India, China etc. take off you'll be glad you're invested and if not then the EM share in those ETFs will decrease further.
Thank you for making these videos.
Hi Angelo, great video as always! Quick question, I have noticed you don't mention Index Funds in your channel, is there a reason? Just wondering because compared to ETF's you have better taxation rules, at least in Spain. Looking at options, the Vanguard Global Stock Index is a good alternative to the FTSE All World ETF with lower commissions, 0,18%. I'll appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you
Hi Miguel, that's because most people (me included) don't have access to index funds. And long-term most index funds have so far underperformed their ETF counterparts, as you can see in your example (Global Stock Index = MSCI World): www.fondsweb.com/at/vergleichen/ansicht/isins/IE00B03HD209,IE00B4X9L533 -> sorry about the German
If you're planning on holding your investment long-term and not switching from one index fund to another on a regular basis, then I don't see the benefit of going with index funds in Spain.
@@AngeloColomboFi Hi Angelo, can you tell us why we can't access index funds. Im from Ireland. The ETF tax is 40%.and there is a rule where you must pay this tax every 8 years even if you don't realise gains!. It really turns me off investing. Especially when you compare it to the American tax rules. Thanks
Hi @@AngeloColomboFi, thank you for taking the time to answer to my comment, really appreciate your feedback on it. I completely agree that investing in index funds is less universal than on ETF's, here in Spain you can easily do it (fractional investment) with a Neobank called MyInvestor but there is not that many more options apart from them, I thought Interactive Brokers also had them but not sure. I have been following a very similar strategy to yours on the same ETF and will probably continue to do the same in the future, just wanted to get your input, Merry Christmas and thanks again.
Hello i've watched all your videos thank you for education
, what do you think of VUSA as beginning investing in 1 ETF? Because the 188 euro per quantity is a bit too much for me.
My pleasure! You're excluding the rest of the world and only buying US stocks. If that's the plan, then VUSA is a good ETF! You can also buy fractional shares by the way using Interactive Brokers: ruclips.net/video/12g12UU8oPQ/видео.html or Trade Republic: ruclips.net/video/kjof8klveqc/видео.html
Thank you for the information, i'm in interactive brokers, i've tried to buy fractional shares on some of them but it taxes me more for it. I'll look more into it maybe i've missed something.@@AngeloColomboFi
Wow really interesting videos... I really like this aproach. But I have a question... why when you talk about MSCI ACWI Index ETFs you dont consider iShares MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF USD (IE00B6R52259) like an alternative? is something in line with your explanation or I miss something?
Thank you! It's a great alternative! I simply didn't mention it because the SPDR MSCI ACWI IMI stole its show due to its now lower TER of 0.17% :)
One thing to note is that it is a different index. The MSCI ACWI doesn't include small caps like the IMI.
Invesco FTSE All World is above 100m AUM now......great product!
Sweet! Come on Vanguard, it's your turn to lower fees now and keep the competition going 👌
@@AngeloColomboFi 250m now
@@AngeloColomboFihi angelo. I get the idea of one global etf. But when I look at sp500 historical data over a large number of years is better than the vwce or similar etf. What is your opinion on sp500 investment strategy.? I understand the concentration risk, but when comparing ftes, most of them will follow the US economy tendency
Amazing man thank you! Where did you get your hyper strong money cat from by the way? I need him
Is it worth investing in all-world (ACWI) since some EM countries will move to MSCI World anyway (in fact, those that will move are "tested")?
Of course, we will lose the moment of moving an EM country to DM (and that will be a big increase). Nevertheless, ACWI has about 10% EM, even if one country temporarily does +200% like India in 2007-2009, will it not increase the growth much?
and EM will never be greater than 20% because these countries will automatically move to DM.
What do you think?
Hello, I use trade republic as broker, but I don't find the SPDR MSCI World ETF...
Did you try searching for the ticker SPPW (in the video description)?
@@AngeloColomboFiYes I did but it isn’t there. I did find the iShares version with the ticker IWDA, but not the SPDR one.
Any idea for the mentioned ETF how does DTAA apply for the individual
Hi Angelo, when I take a look at the SPDR MSCI ACWI IMI ETF on JustETF, it says the ETF has 3017 holdings instead of the 9204 you mentioned which is said in the factsheet. Which statistic do I need to go by? If there are only 3017 holdings then I would rather buy the FTSE All-World which has more.
Thanks,
Rory
Hi Angelo, why are there different tickers for the Vanguard FTSE All World (Accumulating) on Interactive Brokers, and which one is the right one? (VWRL, VHVE, some other?)
VWCE is the one traded in EUR. Other currencies and exchanges use different tickers
@@AngeloColomboFi Thanks for the quick reply!
Hi Angelo, pls can you make a video of ETFs to buy specially in the Real Estate Sector, Semiconductors sector, Tech sector, and the Energy sector? Thanks very much. Good job 👍
You mean "an ETF to rule them all?" :) Thank you for the video.
Yes, just what I was thinking about as well 😅
Thanks Angelo! As always, perfect analysis...!
Thank you Dimitar!
How long track record does the the VWRL FTSE all world ETF have? Is there somewhere I can view all its history?
Hi Angelo, great video! if I have a large sum to invest, is there a difference between buying ftse all world as a lump sum with all my sum vs monthly installments? (Germany tax laws) thanks!
Thank you! Lump sum or monthly installments make no difference regarding taxes in Germany (or anywhere else). This video might help you decide: ruclips.net/video/yOWAhL6MFF8/видео.html
Hi Angelo, can you please tell me in short why do you consider the Vanguard ETF being better tax-wise than the SPDR one for investors in Austria? I see that both of them are located in Ireland and they share the same accumulating nature. I would use Flatex and any headsup would be appreciated 😉
Sure Matej! Generally, the 27,5% tax from the point of buying until you sell everything remains the same.
But, since we're also taxed a bit during the holding period, I've spend quite some time comparing how much taxes we pay on each Accumulating ETF in Austria on a yearly basis and found Acc. Vanguard ETFs to be the most tax-efficient overall (2x better compared to the SPDR ACWI IMI ETF so far). You can look into the tax data here: my.oekb.at/kapitalmarkt-services/kms-output/fonds-info/sd/af/f
Great,@@AngeloColomboFi, I was looking for someone with exactly that question, the reason why you said that the FTSE All-World is more tax efficient in Austria. I understood your reasons and in addition to that, I saw that you probably lived the dilemma that is preventing me from starting to invest in Germany (where I currently live). From your answer I understood that in Austria, as well as in Germany, there is the Vorabpauschale for ETFs. I can’t find material in English that tells me what happens in practice, but here in Germany, in theory, this makes the Acc and Dist funds with the same amount of taxes, but with more complexity on the part of the Acc because you need to pay in advance. Isn’t it the same in Austria? The tool you used for this study has a German equivalent? Thank you very much.
@@AngeloColomboFi Thank you Angelo for the effort and for staying curious. You have a drink from me if/when see each other in Vienna 😉
What do you think about Invesco FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (FWRG)? Not as established as vanguards but fees, are only 0.15%.
The fund volume is too small for now, but I'll take it into consideration once it passes >€100M and if Vanguard hasn't lowered its fees by then!
Hi, Angelo. Thank you for these educative videos. I noticed that many of the ETFs you suggest have the USD as currency. Is it advisable to buy them with euro? Or is it better to find an ETF in euro already?
Thank you for your answer
That's just the fund currency, which is irrelevant. You can buy/sell all of the ETFs directly in euros using IBKR and Trade Republic (linked above), which is what I do as well!
Hi all, if I try to buy some shares of VUSA (it is like that for almost every stock and ETF except for XDPU) the fees range from 1.25 to 2.55, do you know why? I already switched my account to tiering. I am a resident in Luxembourg. Thank you all!
What was the actual fee when you bought it? IB usually just shows a range when you place the order, but with me it was always the low amount once executed (1.25€). If you're paying more you can invest via a recurring investment, which gets you the lowest fee each time.
@@AngeloColomboFi ciao Angelo, thanks for the swift reply. The range is 1.25 - 2.55 for almost anything, whereas it is 1.25-1.32 for XDPU.
I have been buying only XDPU so far
I have just started an Invesco FTSE all world ETF. 0.15% fee and includes developed and emerging markets. Also an accumulation
Can you buy it with trade republic?
i opened an account on the uk website should i have opened one on the ie website can you explain the difference for me please. Im from bosina and herzegovina
Hi, are these on DEGIRO as well?
Hi, differences with acc and dist?
Great video thank you.
Can I ask 2 questions:
1. Would you consider the high dividend paying etf Vanguard Funds PLC VANGUARD FTSE WRLD HI DIV YLD UCITS ETF (VHYL) LSE?
if not why not - it seems less weighted to the US Tech Stocks and gives a higher div.
2. If you thought Developed countries were going to be down for the next 10-15 years would you change your mind on your ETF choice and lean more to an ETF with higher emerging markets?
Thank you very much
1. No, I prefer the default version (which has also performed way better long-term so far) as I don't want to prioritize companies only based on dividends
2. No, I'd stick to VWCE, see the share of EM stocks in the ETF increase on its own and be happy about the fact that I chose an ETF that includes EM
Thank you Angelo for this analysis of criteria but I always feel you leave out the most important thing in your various videos: expected returns!! How much will our money grow? How did your portfolio do over the last years?! Make us dream 🎉
Our ETF portfolio averaged 10% p.a. in returns since 2017, but you can see a bit more historical data for ETFs here: curvo.eu/backtest/en/portfolio/vwce--NoIgag6gwgoiA0xQEkYAY0CEDSBWTAigCoAcaCAjALo1A
Am thinking about doing VUAA WVCG AND EMIM. 40-40-20.
This way there is only 40% reliance on US, minimum overlap etc. Thoughts on this?
what will be more profitable in the long run to buy 1 etf for the whole world or take two different ones for a developed and developing market?
How to obtain live market data for the ETFs you speak about it here ? Is it possible on interactive brokers? It looks like no free option is available
I find that what IBKR itself displays for free and www.gettex.de/en is usually plenty enough, especially if you're an investor and not a trader.
Thanks for your useful videos. I know you after watching the live with Mr. Rip. What do you think in general about 80% SWDA + 20% AASI to replace VWCE? Does it make sense to you?
Nice, happy that you found me that way! Nothing wrong with that split, even if I find 20% EM Asia a bit high for my personal preference.
In my country they say that UCITS ETFs are not taxed. Does it mean that capital gains are not taxed, divends are not taxed, or both?
I'm assuming you're based in Greece? If so, it seems like neither are taxed (lucky you!) according to my short Google search: www.taxexperts.eu/en/an-overview-of-distributions-and-capital-gains-taxation-in-greece/
@@AngeloColomboFi aww thank you so much for looking into it! Much appreciated!
Was sagst du eigentlich zur Wertpapierleihe - ist ein Risiko das fast jeder ETF hat und bei kaum einen wird darauf hingedeutet dass die einfach die Wertpapiere verleihen. ?
Es wird immer nur ein kleiner Teil verliehen und dies immer gegen liquide Sicherheiten, die jeweils über 100% des Wertes haben, damit es selbst bei finanziellen Schwierigkeiten des Leih-Partners nicht zu Verlusten kommt. Das ganze verbessert unsere Rendite, da ein Teil der Erträge hiervon (oder alle, je nach Anbieter) in die Performance einfließen und so die Tracking Differenz verbessern. Ich hab also in diesem Kontext, innerhalb der ETFs null Probleme damit
Spdr msci acwi imi index etf available here in the UK is in Dollar denomination, so there will be some underlying currency charges unlike GBP de nominated etfs like ishares msci acwi etf, or Vanguard ftse all world etf etc. Also it looks like the ftse all world index and ftse dev world indexes don't have any small cap exposure just large and mid cap. Vanguard does a ftse global all cap index fund in the UK which tracks large, medium and small cap stocks across the dev and emerging markets
Angelo can you make a video about investment in ETFs for investors now living in Austria? You always say that investing from Austria is complicated, but can you explain it?

Hi Angelo, I appreciate your sincerity and your simplicity.
I was wondering, why don't you diversify your ETFs, you seem to like SPDR MSCI World AND Vanguard All World.
Instead of choosing one OR the other, why don't you buy both, you diversify your asset managers so reduce "the risk", and for free (you just keep buying one or the other).
No need to do 50/50, it can be 80/20 or whatever.
I remember Ray Dalio's portfolio with ETFs from all different asset managers.
What do you think? I would like to know your opinion on it?
Happy to hear that! I don't really see the need to diversify fund providers, especially not when we're talking about well-known fund providers with a long history like Vanguard, Blackrock and SPDR and when they're physically holding the stocks within the ETF (so not synthetic SWAP-based ETFs). But if you feel better by adding a second fund provider, I don't see the harm of doing that either (if fees etc. are comparable)!
Hey, I'm complete beginner and I don't know which brokerage app/site would be mot safest and low fees if there is any of them in EU. I've learned/listening and overall educating myself about the market i also invested a lot in real estate and its debt free. Now I'd like to invest most of my cash from RE in the capital markets + my salary :)... and decided to invest in SPYI, VWCE,VOO or any other that would make sense. I'm looking to invest for the long term (25-40 years). I do not intend to sell unless something bad happens. I do not want to sell RE properties so I'm looking for something in the capital markets.

Question Angelo -where do you find the datasheet and infos for the abovementioned etfs??

What about iShares MSCI ACWI (IUSQ)?
It's a great alternative I could have mentioned in the video, with a TER of only 0,2% 👌
@@AngeloColomboFi
Isn't it bothering because it's in USD ?
Honest question
Ciao Angelo, volevo chiederti se secondo te ha senso avere in portfolio solo 2 ETF, Vanguard FTSE All-World e iShares MSCI World UCITS in percentuale 50/50, solo come differenziazione di prodotto.
Hi Matteo, I hope it's ok if I respond in English, otherwise others with the same question won't get any use out of it. I think there is nothing wrong with that split, you're basically adding 2,5% Small Cap (due to larger number of stocks in All-World) and 5% Emerging Markets compared to just holding an MSCI World that way.
is there comission fees on the reccuring plan on IBKR for the ftse etf ? because on trade republic there's no fees
Yes, 1.25€ using the tiered pricing model
Hi Angelo, maybe i dont understand fully this video (english not my main language). are this ETF comparison amongs EU based ETF only? Or Did you have compare it also to the other ETF accross the globe?
It is worth to mention that the "MSCI market classification framework" classify a country as "developed" or "emerging" taking into accounts 3 criteria:
(i) sustainability of the economic development (GDP per capita);
(ii) size and liquidity of the market;
(iii) market accessibility criteria (policy and regulation of the market: how easy is to invest/disinvest? how stable is the policy and regulatory framework?).....
I think those are important elements to take into account while deciding to invest into Emerging Markets and evaluate risks. The name itself "Emerging markets" is a bit misleading, because not-too-aware investors may think that are countries that are emerging and growing very fast, which is not coherent with the MSCI market classification framework
The MSCI ACWI IMI is an awesome index for diversification. It is amazing that more fund managers don't follow it. I would definitely choose the SPDR ETF that tracks this index if I wasn't already invested in other global trackers.
True! I think we might see more fund providers adding an MSCI ACWI IMI ETF if the SPDR ETF keeps growing in fund size
Great video. I have some comments/questions.
1. what about choosing a tax free ETF such as the ones with UCITS? Are the ones you suggested tax free for Europe?
2. what about choosing an ETF which is in euro currency (not dollar) to reduce the risk of conversion exchange? The ones you suggested support buying them in euro?
Thanks.
Thank you! I only talk about UCITS ETFs on the channel, so yes of course! I'm guessing you're based in Greece or Bulgaria?
All the ETFs can be traded directly in euros, which is what I always do as well!
Thanks Angelo. You got it right. I am in Greece. Your videos are very insightfull and informative, especially for someone who is starting now! :)
Hey Angelo. Great video again.
I would to ask you please , why vanguard's ETFs are better for citizens of austria? Do they have lower taxation?
They seem to be operating more tax-efficiently within the fund, since that's relevant for how much we're taxed on a yearly basis in Austria when holding them. I'm happy to send you more details on ETF taxes in Austria if you shoot me a quick email: angelo.fi/mail
Great video. Thanks! 🎉
Hi Angelo! You are investing in a USD ETF when your savings are in EUR? Are you currently exposed to the USD/EUR movements or how does it work? Thanks a lot :)
The fund currency itself is irrelevant, it doesn't influence the value of the stocks within the ETF.
We're always buying the ETF directly in EUR, so we're not paying currency exchange fees.
Of course the euro getting stronger or weaker will still impact returns based on the countries you're exposed to via the ETF, but hedging against it is still not worth it long-term.
Ciao Angelo! Ho iniziato un pac su swda (non credo molto negli emergenti)… volevo chiederti se è una buona scelta… il mio orizzonte temporale è lungo (puoi rispondere pure in inglese😉)
Yes, nothing wrong with picking the MSCI World as a 1-ETF solution!
PS: Io rispondo in inglese così capiscono anche gli altri :)
Thanks a lot Angelo for the quality of the videos! Could you tell me more why Vanguard FTSE All World is more tax efficient in Austria? I live in Vienna too and I’m trying to understand the taxes with ETFs but it’s very difficult. I know for sure that accumulating ETF have the dividends taxed like the distributing ones.
