Hi, i’m new to investing and i’m looking to build a plan over 25 years for my retirement. I’m currently 45/45 in 2 ETF’s, the Vanguard S&P 500 and ishares S&P 500 Information technology sector. I use the remaining 10% to buy various singe stocks. Are these ETF’s viable for long term growth? 25 year…

I would be careful taking advice from any online forum, but the obvious spot is that you are very US concentrated with that choice. VWRP as the accumulation version of VWRL is something I would consider as well.

ETF’s are considered a fine choice for the long term. You are weighted on the US sector, but that comes down to your preference also. If you think the emerging markets are not going to outperform the US over the next 10 years, then your portfolio should reflect that, or vice versa. Most people spl…

Thanks for the replies. I am leaning heavily on USA funds but to be honest, and this will make experienced investors cringe i’m sure, I follow a person on you tube who advises to keep your money purely in the S&P 500 as the track record of long term return is consistent. Grateful for any tips or ad…

can you please also recommend some of the ETF that are in T212 universe for China, Japan or you mean iShares small cap ETF but I guess that is just for US? do we have any ETF for China Japan?

Here is a list I did a while back, have a look - it’s all nice in a excel spreadsheet format. [image] ETF Excel Spreadsheet - Download 💬 Trading 212 chat Hey Everyone! Thought some of you may like to have an excel spreadsheet of some popular ETF’s. Most (if not all) of t…

Hi, i’ve just been looking at your spreadsheet. Thank you so much by the way for providing this. I’m predominantly invested in the VUSA and the IITU. I like the fact that the IITU auto invests dividends. It’s all a learning curve for me at the moment but i’m in for the long term. Thanks again for sh…

No worries, glad it’s of use :slight_smile: Anything else you want, head over to justETF.com - that’s where the data is from.

Reading what you posted here maybe (always do your own research) a developed world ETF like sppw would fit you. It’s still heavily US centred (66% of fund) but also includes Europe and some parts of Asia and Oceania. It excludes emerging markets. Expense ratio is 0.12%, higher than most S&P 500 ETFs…

You need to have exposure to China for certain as they are the only one with a growing economy currently out of the big hitters

What fund would you recommend for this? Thanks for taking the time offer some advice, i really appreciate it.
