I spent some time reading this article from IC that goes over the top 50 core ETFs for the UK market. I have spent some time putting together a list from that collection for my own passive investing, I am wondering if some ETF experts here can give me their opinion. The collection doesn’t have a WORLD wide ETF as I dont want too much overlap. So far, I have Nasdaq / S&P 500 / FTSE100 / EM / Japan and some bonds. I wouldn’t mind looking into getting the whole UK market instead of the FTSE100, haven’t decided yet. Ticker Name OCF URL Weight EQQQ Invesco Nasdaq 100 0.30% link 22.10% ISF iShares Cor FTSE 100 0.07% link 20% EMIM iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets 0.18% link 14% SJPA iShares Core MSCI Japan 0.15% link 6.20% CSP1 iShares Core S&P 500 0.07% link 19.70% SLXX iShares Core GBP Corporate Bond 0.20% link 18% With the weights in place as above, just ETF is saying I should potentially get a 10.82% return with a 0.16% fee per year. Now not sure how realistic that is, but seems pretty modest. What are peoples thoughts?

Besides 20% on FTSE 100, on my view/tasty is too much… it looks just fine :wink:

how would you distribute the weight?

Without adding/removing anything… I would drop ISF to around 10%~12%. but do what you feel better related to the markets that you know and had researched :wink:

Looks decent to me but I feel the same as @laguiar I feel the FTSE is actually pretty high dusk and likely low reward. Wouldn’t allocate too much to it. As well, I don’t know you goals or current position, but I don’t touch bonds, if you have a long time horizon and aren’t too scared of volatility then you’re likely to get a better return going all stock rather than bonds But saying that, you never know, stocks seem very overvalued right now so bonds might do pretty well

This is a massively personal preference but, I’ll have to agree with @laguiar, once again emphasising personal preference and risk tolerance, I would not add FTSE100 at all, I have no expectations from most shares there. If I really wanted to add UK to geographically diversify it, I prefer FTSE250 vs FTSE100 [image] The FTSE 100 is down 20% in 20 years, so why invest for the long-term? The FTSE 100 has gone nowhere in 20 years, so why are investors told to think long-term? That is the question those of us who advocate investing deserve to face. here is a comparison of FTSE100 vs 250 vs SNP500 https://tinyurl.com/y5xse9rt

I’d add ETFs for Europe and Asia pacific. It could also be worth adding a FTSE 250 tracker.

back to the drawing board for me…im defo going to remove the FTSE and add 250 and Europe watch this space
