hi, what's the difference between FTSE Developed World UCITS ETF (VHVG) vs FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (VWRL) ?
Is this advice applicable to investing for a SIPP also??? Cheers
I have downloaded the Vanguard Australia app but can't find the FTSE All World UCITS ETF or the S&P 500 as available products that I can buy – do you know why this is? IS this video only for UK viewers? Thanks very much
Hello Toby, need some advice. I want to buy into the S&P 500 accumulated with Vanguard and I want to buy a fund for All world excluding the USA. How do I do that and what are your thoughts?
Can I please ask you, can I swap from Acc to Income when I retire ? Ie I will be looking to invest into an isa soon for my retirement in 10 years time. I therefore want to initially want to passively invest then if allowable I want to switch my investments / portfolio to income/dividends
Is this allowable within an isa
VWRP
Can you give your view on the Vanguard Developed World ESG ETF?
Hi, if I currently have VWRL and wish to change and transfer the money invested into VWRP, how difficult would this be?
Hey Toby, great video thanks for the info. I was wondering if you know where I could buy the Vanguard value etf (VTV) please. Can't see it anywhere on the vanguard UK website. Think a VTV fund would be good to have alongside FTSE Global All Cap Index in a portfolio for diversification as VTV I believe focuses on value stocks and the other one more on growth…? thanks
I have Vuag on Jisa
Vanguard is really screwed up. There web page is terrible, compared to other investor sites.. Majority of my retirement is with vanguard. I'm getting a feeling that its time to move on to a better investment company.
What is your background Toby?
I basically just spent a few years reading books,listening to audiobooks, and YouTube.
Helpful video but I find it a bit sad that these kinds of videos never mention ESG as an investment consideration. Surely there should be some notice as part of investment considerations that you may be investing in defence companies or fossil fuel extraction? This is 2024, we can do better.
I invested in ftse developed world ex uk index should i switch and if so how do i do it on vanguard ? Have a bit of money in my isa towards it so if i move my monthly investments to a different fund such as all cap or s&p would it be pointless?
Hi guys,
I wanted a “set and forget” pie/mix for long term investment. I’ve decided to go with the below:
VUAG 70% of my portfolio
VWRP 30% of my portfolio
Please let me know your thoughts. Also, the two ETFs above, or any other for that matter, if it says USD, EUR, GBP under “Listed currencies”, then I can invest in GBP and never be subject to any currency conversions even though the original stocks are in USD, right? I also, wouldn’t pay any taxes on these gains as long as I’m within the £20k yearly ISA allowance, right?
FTSE Dev World Ex UK, (VDWXEIA) beats all these suggestions, with a lower fee, and better performance every year from what I can see. Its the fund I have my SIPP invested in, and also recommended by Pension Craft, worth a mention 🙂
Why ETFs ?
So I did opened an account on vanguard just to realise they don't offer individual stocks to buy…. all yt videos tells you can buy stocks but you cant indeed.
Toby, Why do fund share price units vary. eg. S&P 500 ETFs can be £6.20, £60.70, £723.55 a share. Please do a video of the pros and cons. Thanks
Vanguard in America does not charge any platform fee and people can buy other shares eg. Apple, Microsoft.
Any news on holding fractional shares in an ISA, and could there be any complications holding FTSE Global All Cap if so?
Good video Toby, top index funds. Although no FTSE 100 mention?
Excellent summary – just the right amount of detail.
So how does acc will work ? Because vanguard does not allow to buy fraction of shares and if your divs supposed to be like 30£ for example it does not cover full price of share, do i need to have extra cash in vanguard to cover the difference ?
Shame the vanguard US index isnt on this. Best index fund in my opinion
I’m fairly new to investing and own FTSE Global all cap index and the S&P. I’m looking for a good third index fund or ETF to invest in that’ll diversify my portfolio further. Any suggestions?
QQ – for VWRA, I am assuming you have to sell a “whole” share to see a return (just as you have to buy a “whole” share)?
I have over £90k in VWRL and the reason I keep adding is that I want to in the next 5 years or so “consume” that dividend income without having to sell the underlying shares. I am happy to go all in on 100% equities throughout my 40s, 50s and even in retirement in my ISA (with property rental income, workplace DB pension being my “safe” alternative options).
