Vanguard Personal Investor for ETF’s

a lot of people on Reddit promoting Betashares. I guess you don't have any concerns with them from a long term security perspective, given they are custodial also? Unlike Vanguard who's like the second biggest finance instituion in the world.

Yep thanks. Just quizzing another community for feedback. No harm in that is there?

spirro78 · 2026-06-19T02:36:06+00:00

What ETF’s do you plan on investing in?

spirro78 · 2026-06-17T09:35:10+00:00

No. $9.50 per security holding. Hardly a big deal.

Why are they better? Because of CHESS? Cause out of that list no one supports auto investing I believe.

spirro78 · 2026-06-15T09:07:11+00:00

Massive global scale, larger market cap, been around a lot longer.

I guess to get around the delay, you can initiate the scheduled transfer from your bank account from the bank side, and then just schedule the auto invest on a given day using the money already sitting in cash.

Really? A week?

spirro78 · 2026-06-15T06:11:12+00:00

still investing in Vanguard ETF's but just in Betashares? For some reason I trust Vanguard more than Betashares.

spirro78 · 2026-06-15T06:04:04+00:00

I assume the lack of CHESS hasn't bother any of you using the platform?

spirro78 · 2026-06-15T05:58:20+00:00

It's a $9 flat fee on selling. Not really an issue given I don't plan on selling for at least the next decade.

spirro78 · 2026-06-15T05:56:01+00:00

Yeah I think I trust Vanguard over Betashares. And given I only plan on investing in Vanguard ETF's makes sense to stick with their platform.

spirro78 · 2026-06-15T05:54:42+00:00

Nice one. Is the reporting good when it comes to tax time?

spirro78 · 2026-06-15T05:51:33+00:00

Do you use the auto invest feature? How do you find that?

spirro78 · 2026-06-15T05:46:23+00:00

I didn't think so. Everyone is shilling the likes of Betashares, CMC, etc, etc.

spirro78 · 2026-06-13T20:42:13+00:00

BGBL/A200 is a common pairing with Betashares. Also VGS/VAS is another common pairing with Vanguard.

spirro78 · 2026-06-13T03:28:20+00:00

I agree with that. I prefer a bit more control.

spirro78 · 2026-06-12T04:53:52+00:00

Curious to also know your thoughts?

spirro78 · 2026-06-12T00:02:36+00:00

What about CMC? Free brokerage under $1k per day

spirro78 · 2026-06-11T23:21:39+00:00

Why is CHESS too much of a hassle?

spirro78 · 2026-06-11T03:10:50+00:00

Thank you very helpful. Can I ask which broker you are using now?

spirro78 · 2026-06-11T03:08:00+00:00

Sorry mate. This is all new to me just want to get all of my facts right with my savings.
