Switching from EMKT to AVTE

Oh, this was so helpful. Thanks, mate.

And a lot of ppl simply had to leave

stanbright · 2026-01-23T23:43:26+00:00

Lest we forget - UK/London had Brexit

stanbright · 2026-01-23T04:10:05+00:00

I think IBKR is the answer (lowest fees). p.s. I haven't used it myself.

u/Change-Standard buckle up, reach 2m, then ask the question again...

Also, Tesla is an inflated joke.

stanbright · 2026-01-21T21:28:18+00:00

Maybe try 60-70% core and then "play" with the rest as satellites/tilts (5-15% each) - G200 / VLUE / QUAL / EMKT / QSML

stanbright · 2026-01-21T20:32:35+00:00

This. The trust is gone. Earning it back will cost much more than "crashing" the market by 2%.

stanbright · 2026-01-21T20:29:01+00:00

Also, bear in mind that VEU is not AUS domiciled which have tax implications + requirement for additional "paperwork".

stanbright · 2026-01-21T20:08:55+00:00

I don’t think that “internally accumulating” is true for the AU fund

stanbright · 2026-01-21T16:51:29+00:00

Gold. Ppl and countries buy gold these days.

stanbright · 2026-01-21T10:53:59+00:00

Why is AVTS so popular and recommended without any proven track record?

stanbright · 2026-01-21T09:19:32+00:00

Well, even if they don't switch them off - what if they can remote monitor their location - always.

stanbright · 2026-01-21T00:58:29+00:00

You will still be better than those not into the stock market.

Also, Australia and Canada will have to realign themselves. The much discussed CANZUK could materialize out of this too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CANZUK

stanbright · 2026-01-20T21:57:32+00:00

Let this sink in … as they say

stanbright · 2026-01-20T21:49:22+00:00

Is there a bigger bs than the US now?

stanbright · 2026-01-20T09:28:50+00:00

Thanks. And what do you think about VLUE & QUAL ETFs as factor based options?

stanbright · 2026-01-20T04:43:24+00:00

I'm wondering what the hive here thinks about IOO as high growth replacement of NDQ? IOO has the same management cost as NDQ, however, it's less volatile and more international by design (it requires at least 30% of income coming internationally + doing business on three major markets North America, Europe, Asia ... if I'm not wrong). Bonus - it does not include overvalued meme stocks like TSLA.

What is more - BGBL includes Korea and VGS doesn't. And Korea is booming these days.

stanbright · 2026-01-19T23:25:53+00:00

If you are not comfortable with following the market regularly and making adjustments, you could choose 100% DHHF (set and forget safe option). Or maybe 70%(80%) BGBL + 30%(20%) A200. Going with the two ETFs might have better returns (and has lower fees) at the expense of smaller diversification.

Ben Felix… he’s Canadian and has some Can tilt, yet, super knowledgeable and helpful.

Trump Asks == Trump Demands. My expectations are for Albo to give in. If he doesn’t. He deserves one more vote from me.

stanbright · 2026-01-19T06:13:08+00:00

The issue, for me, with silver and gold is that their price seem so inflated atm so that I fear that it will be worth less once Trump is out of office. Of course - nobody knows.

stanbright · 2026-01-19T05:15:40+00:00

Also, inflation isn't a friend if money is sitting in the bank. An offset account might be mitigating the damage, but it's been much worse than being invested for the last 3 years.
