It means investing in a broad market ETF such as VT. It hold thousands of stocks worldwide, so you're diversified across global companies, reducing the risk of being stuck with individual companies, sector, or country performing poorly. Since ETF like VT is based on Market Cap, poor performing companies will automatically hold less % in your portfolio, while those performing well will gain more % in your portfolio, as reflected in their company growth/market value.

Warran Buffet once said that S&P 500 index fund is the best investment to own for most people. He also said that after he dies, 90% of his wife's inheritance will go into the low cost S&P 500 index fund. Let's face it - stock picking requires a lot of time and skills (and some lucks of course) Hence, ETF has become an increasingly popular investment option with its various benefits such as diversification, self adjusting and low cost etc. I started my investment journey i...

Are you confident in USD ? If Fed wants to trap your money invested in US companies, what will they do? Haris wants to increase the corporate tax from 21% to 28% and raise personal tax to milk the rich to feed the lower income. These are terrible news for US companies. Profit will be affected, so the dividend will be reduced. Share price will be in limbo. I am not trying to pour cold water. There is risk involved in buying S&P 500 too. Suggest you go slow. RSP in slowly. Year 2024 and 2025 should have big movement.

Thanks for the comment. If you look at history, there is little evidence that stock market will react negatively towards corporate tax hikes. Study shows that during the five prior corporate tax rate increases in 1950, 1951, 1952, 1968, and 1993, the S&P 500 index posted an average calendar year gain of 12.9% with positive price returns in each instance. Over past decades, U.S. companies have been able to generate substantial earnings growth in different tax environments, including periods of high corporate tax rates. I guess this is what the great investors say - Never Bet Against America! Having said that, it's important to know one's investment horizon and always keep some bullets so that during market pullback, we will be able to get some good deals in stock markets including the ETF =)
If you wanna start investing then you can just pick one and start. 1️⃣ Vanguard S&P 500 ETF ($Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO.US)$): Vanguards’ S&P 500 index fund tracks the S&P 500, Expense ratio of just 0.03%. 2️⃣ Fidelity ZERO Large Cap Index Fund (): If you don’t want the fees at all then Fidelity’s S&P 500 tracker, promises the expense ratio of 0.00% (no fees!). My personal favorite. 3️⃣ Schwab U.S. Broad Market Index ETF ($Schwab US Broad Market ETF (SCHB.US)$)...

Should I go for VOO or VTI? Currently I’m just holding VT in my portfolio.
I think as investors we would also want to have some assets which are resilient to any uncertainty brought by economic events, for example, interest rates hike. We know that interest rate hike is not new. The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates for a year now, which has created some uncertainty in the markets. However, despite rising rates and market uncertainty, we should stay disciplined ...
After the Swiss National bank loaned Credit Suisse 50 billion Swiss francs to provide additional liquidity, it also facilitated UBS's acquisition of Credit Suisse for 3 billion Swiss francs, curbing a confidence crisis that could have spread to global financial markets. The Credit Suisse crisis comes after a week of bankruptcies of Silvergate Bank, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank that triggered a surge in pressure o...
The S&P 500 experienced an overall pullback in February, with a monthly decline of 2.61%. However, there are surprises in the performance of some S&P 500 companies, with the most bullish stocks gaining 27.4% during the month! Star companies like$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$,$Tesla (TSLA.US)$and$Meta Platforms (META.US)$also continued their rebound trend, rising 18.83%, 18.76% and 17.43% respectively. In terms of ma...
Let's talk about how to invest in 2022 against the backdrop of interest rate hikes, and what exactly is considered low-risk. 1. First of all, to clarify a point: no financial management is completely and utterly risk-free. Even if you don't invest anything, just take the cash, it will be affected by the exchange rate and inflation, so there is no absolute safety of money in the world. 2.Low-risk finance means, first of all, robustness in terms of legal ...
