Vanguard lifestrategy etf

Maybe in some countries it can be a taxable event (e.g. Ireland ?).

(A bit off topic,) I always thought that instead of selling and make a taxable event, I rather buy only, in this case, the smaller assets to have again the original weights.

With fractional shares would be easier. Btw, the portfolios of those ETFs are a bit overcrowded with too much ETFs and some overlapping each other.

Maybe a (core) ETFs’ portfolio made of:

  • Global Stocks = MSCI World + MSCI EM (or instead only MSCI ACWI) + MSCI FM (for the people with a completeness fetiche :smiley: ) or just MSCI World
  • Global Bonds or National Currency Bonds

(Plus #1) For an ETF broad asset allocation:

  • Gold
  • Money Market in National Currency

(Plus #2) For crypto fans:

  • Bitcoin or other Crypto ETP or a Crypto Basket ETP

Bottom-line:
1 Stock ETF (or 3 separate ETFs) + 1 Bond ETF
or
1 Stock ETF (or 3 separate ETFs) + 1 Bond ETF + 1 Gold ETF + 1 Money Market ETF
or
1 Stock ETF (or 3 separate ETFs) + 1 Bond ETF + 1 Gold ETF + 1 Money Market ETF + 1 Crypto ETP

Minumim = 2 ETFs
Maximum = 7 ETF/ETPs
