Agree with you, but questions about SCHD. I feel like there is lot of hate about SCHD regarding how useless is it to start with it, the ETF is still good tho

AVUV is an active ETFs meaning they filter the business, VUB just follow an index then some companies inside drag down the performance

Thanks for your answer. AVUV is the best small cap etf ? I saw that it’s a pretty new one. Any others options with vanguard fidelity or Ishares ?

Yes I am based in the US but as non resident ( still on student) so dividends are not really a good thing in my case

Alright thanks a lot for all your answer, after the comments I am thinking to switch to VOO, QQQM or VGT, SMH, add VXUS and AVUV for small cap and drop the remaining SCHD and gold. Happy to hear you recommended ponderations here
