The Best Vanguard Index Funds to Buy in 2024

Savings atm is 6% so y wld ya do dividends at 3-4%

Nice vid but the way you talk about fees are a bit misleading. Let’s not forget the fees compound too

I have the 60% life strategy fund. What is your opinion on that? I also have the S&P and VWRP with Freetrade which has made me a lot more money then the 60% life strategy

Fantastic, so many professional people have no financial education at all. It's shocking.

Really helpful video, clearest I've seen on the topic, thanks! Would love to see a video about dealing with past financial regret and moving forward with investing - I believe it's such a barrier for many, including myself.

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?

amazing video mate, very informative appreciate it 👍

IMPORTANT: AMC is back in play same set up as last time if you remember it. Trading today under $5…buy & keep holding until $100 later this year 😁 You’re welcome - only tell those who deserve to x20 their investment.

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.

Wow
I Feel I’m in good company then.
Long live Vanguard 🤣🤟☀️🥛

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.

Brilliant
I hold VUAG🤟☀️

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).

Hey Toby! I’m completely new to this and was just wondering - should i invest £500 into S&P now via Vanguard or is now not the right time to invest..?

Is there an easy way to see which Vanguard funds you can buy fractional shares? Doesn’t look like I can filter to them so wondering what I look for?

If you invested in VWRP & VAFTGAG, can you then switch from accumulation to income whenever you want to?

Great video. I guess the question I'm left with is what is the cheapest All World Index Fund and which platform is the cheapest to manage such fund. I currently hold a HSBC FTSE All World Index on HL.

Hi Toby, thanks for the informative video!

What’s your thoughts on splitting my investments as the following:

VEVE 70%
VUSA 25%
VFEM 5%

The fees work out quite a bit less when splitting the all world into VEVE & VFEM as opposed to buying VWRL.

Cheers!

Are ETFs held on HL charged like shares (£45 annual cap) or are they charged 0.45% of the fund value up to 250k?

Is the difference between VAFTAG and VWRP that the former also invests in small cap? For the longer term, is VAFTAG a better best as far as global funds are concerned? Thanks for all the great content you provide.

Is VUAG available on webull? I am struggling to locate it

Hi Toby, great video and Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing!!! What is your thought about FTSE Developed World ex-U.K. Equity Index Fund (VDWXEIA)? You did not mention this fund in your video. Is there any particular reason ? Its not expensive like the FTSE GLOBAL ALL CAP but I understand it does not have the emerging market part in it. Thank you.

any chance you could do a comparison video talking about the Australian market for 2024. pleeeeeeease. Most if not all of these are available on the Australian vanguard (or just have different names).

Just my opinion but, for funds held outside of a tax-free SIPP or ISA wrapper, I hate accumulation funds because even though the dividends are accumulated within the fund HMRC still treats them each year as if they were paid out to you as part of your taxable income so you have to keep "feeding" your investment with cash every year to pay HMRC the tax due on that year's accumulated dividends. And then to add insult to injury when you come to sell your, capital gains tax calculation becomes more complicated because you have to strip out the part of the sales proceeds attributable to all accumulated dividends (already taxed as income) in order to get the correct (lower) adjusted sale price to be used for the CGT calculation.

Within tax wrappers I agree, accumulation funds are a great option, but outside of that the downsides mentioned above are enough to make me go for distribution versions every time and manage the income stream and additional unit purchases myself.

Great video. My 2 funds in my vanguard:
Global all cap
VHYL accumulation

Great video as always Toby
