What’s the difference between investing in just VUSA or just VUSD or 50/50 in both? I have seen some people say there is no difference between just one or the other and some others say 50/50 is the best. Can someone please explain?

Some people do not have access to 0 fee currency exchange and so Vanguard make this ETF available to be purchased with both currencies. For us on Trading 212 who have 0 fee currency exchange these are effectively the same.

If your currency is GBP I would advise buy VUSA to avoid the FX impact issue.

If you go to the page for the provider you can see the holdings, always worth doing on ETF to see what’s included (in this case 505) and the weighting. [image] Vanguard: Helping you reach your investing goals | Vanguard [Screenshot_20210119-224148] The competin…

There is no difference to profit arising from fx impact. 10 shares of either version of this ETF, bought and sold over the same time period will give you the same GBP profit. VUSA and VUSD are the identical fund. It’s like one finds in GAP, where one sees both prices in EUR and GBP on the same labe…

Maybe it’s late and my brain is frazzled if you bought £10 of VUSA £10 worth of VUSD (13.64 dollars) The dollar weakens against the pound £10 of VUSA 13.64 dollars now gives you £9.70 The dollar weakens again £10 of VUSA 13.64 dollars now gives you £9.50

You forget that if the dollar weakens against pound by 1% the price of VUSA will also fall by 1%.

Sorry so yes same profit. The FX is included in the SP with VUSA rather than separately. If you went with VUSD you’ll see the impact split inside the app. Say this was VUSD [Screenshot_20210119-234614] Whilst VUSA would just show £11.23

What we are saying is essentially correct. However, VUSA and VUSD do trade separately on the market, so the last traded price for each may have occurred at different times and there can be differing demands for the two versions. This can lead to tiny differences in apparent return over short time pe…

[image] Richard.W: By the way, I recommend considering SUUS and SUAS. These ESG SRI versions of a US market tracker have performed well compared to VUSA and IUSA. They exclude things like oil sands, tobacco and weapons. Nice :+1: Interestingly the top 17 (up to Amex) of 131 account for 50% …

Yes, the top holdings in this ETF are ones I would be happy to own. You can use Morningstar to plot the charts of SUAS and VUSA together. SUAS dominates over almost all periods. SDUS is a similar ESG fund. iShares have 3 categories of ESG funds: Screened, Enhanced, and SRI with increasing levels of …
