Australian Low Cost Index Funds (2021) // How I Started My Passive Investing Australia Journey

vts fee you mentioned as 0.03 is for us vts. asx vts fee is 0.04

I've been considering buying ETFs/SCHD stocks for retirement, I have set asides $100k but somewhere along the line, I get cold feet maybe because I'm a rookie and have no idea what I'm doing, please I could really use some guideline

How do you manage the tax calculation headaches that come with investing in ETFs every month?

Just stumbled onto your channel and am loving the content. It's refreshing seeing an Aussie with well made videos talking about investing.

Can you do coaching?

Thank you. I’m sure this video is still relevant today

I enjoyed this video but I don't have minimum $500, example for ASX.

David i need some help buddy i wanna do this but dont know where to start

Just wondering does VTS require W-Ben8 form in order to reduce the US tax?

Hi David, your videos are super easy even for novice like me to understand stuff. Thank you. I am looking to start investing in Index funds. How do I get started investing in Index funds?

What do you think about superhero app?

Since the ASX is on the high, is this a good time to invest? Or should I wait. What is the strategy?

What do you mean when you say dividends are higher for VAS because the companies are in 'mature industries'?

So what is your Goal to retirement $1,000,000 total or a passive weekly income with no day job like $1000 a week.

Good video thank you. Subbed

Great vid could this work for people in NZ

Great video Dave

I am a newbie to the concept of me controlling and learning about low cost ETFs. Thanking you for this very useful and educational video.
I am now subscribed.
I will share this with women at work.
Concise, clear, useful, practical, good PowerPoints, great entertainment and learning tool.

Mate can I ask if when u invest in international eft, do u hedge currency risks at all, because vanguard turned me off with their VTS with no hedge, where as the black rock equivalent is

Thanks again David. Have you done much research on WHSP?

Thanks for priceless informations. Just wanted to ask you how can I reinvest the dividends back on my capital?
Thanks,
Farhad

David, awesome content as ever! Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Could you talk more about structuring your portfolio for tax reasons? Like are you investing under your name or create a company?
Many thanks in advance :D

Do you recommend investing amounts monthly into LICs or ETFs? Or waiting for a quarter and doing as a lump sum?

Yo whats up man... You should look into Benchmark Protocol $MARK.... 32x rewards for LPs starting 2morrow. Under the radar gem. Its tied to the VIX (CBOE).

Hi David, your videos are always great. I just wonder if your investments are inside your superannuation like a self managed super or are you investing outside of your super? If you have read Barefoot Investor, the writer advise to invest in stocks inside your super fund. What is your thought on this one?

you say index funds are not traded on the exchange? Isnt ARG, AFI index funds?

David, your videos are so helpful, looking forward to the ethical investing and retire by 35 vids you mentioned! Thanks so much (:

Would you recommended VAS or ARG? I know both are different, but in terms of dividends, which one is the better options in the long run?

Thanks David for the video!

Does investing in NIKE count as buying Jordans? 😅

another great video mate, what are you thoughts on spaceship? Mainly use STAKE and COMMSEC atm but spaceship is boasting a 55% growth with their universe investing scheme.

Hey David, can you talk about some of the other ETFs esp the ones in the US portfolio...i.e high growth ETFs such as ARKK?

Hi David fantastic video!!
I was wondering what happens to your shares if they are bought say under Vanguard personal investor or other platforms using the custodian model. Can those shares ever be moved into your name on the registry or do you lose your shares if they were to ever go broke ?

Hey David,
What are your thoughts on VDHG vs VTS? do you recommend having money in both or would you do only one or the other (in terms of maximising growth)?
Awesome videos btw! I haven't missed one!

Well, now have $33k in the game, and it's paying off and increasing in value. 🤑

Hi David can i get your thoughts on buying ETFS using stake - America seems to have lower management fees and better returns for ETFS such as VOOG - S&P Growth ETF and VUG - Growth ETF. I am considering buying etfs through stake due to this as you also don't pay brokerage if you want dollar cost average. I also see you bought VTS through CMC - y not just buy it through stake and eliminate brokerage?

I really like MVW as a passive investment, the equal weighting is far better than market cap weighting imo

Hi David, when you did bought VTS, do they send the W8-BEN Forms for you to fill in or how does it work? I am very interested in VTS! Thanks :)

Hey, can you make a video about your thoughts on booming medical cannabis sector like CPH.asx

Great video David! You’re really inspiring me to get started on my investing journey!

Surprised you didn't mention BetaShares ASX 200 Solative index which has a 0.07% management but it's pretty new so you can't do a 5 year comparison.

I also wonder how VTS factors in currency exchange fees. Is this in the management cost or lower returns?

Why do you not use CMC Markets for US stocks?

I'm a simple man when David uploads I like and watch.

Really interesting video on researching and tracking etfs.
Thnks for the insights!

🔥🔥🔥

Why don’t you have more subscribers? 🤔

Was literally talking about the VTS today with my mate! Thanks for covering this, awesome vid!

Ahh! Passive Investing, the idea of money working for you and getting paid through dividends is soo good. Awesome video thanks David!

I'm looking into creating an account for Sharesight. Do you use the free or a paid version? I currently hold less than 10 types of holdings so I think the free version is enough for me. Thanks!

Great video mate, a very good overview of how to invest In low-cost index funds. I'm a big fan of Vanguards ETFs as well, I'm a big fan of VAE aswell.
