QUOTE(Ramjade @ May 2 2020, 08:57 PM) Yes. Find for alternative for Irish domiciled etf listed on LSE. You are taxxed 15% only. How to find? First find the index which the etf tracks. 2nd google the index name with Irish domiciled (eg S&P 500 etf irish domiciled) Third don;t use iOCBC. You are being charged extra dividend charges, very high commision. Thanks! What's a "extra dividend charges" ? |

QUOTE(simplylegendary @ May 2 2020, 08:52 PM) Hi, this question probably have been asked to death, but here goes. I always bought four US-domiciled ETFs through Dollar Cost Averaging. They are VOO, VTI, IWF and VNQ. Lately I just realized that my dividends are withheld 30%. I have questions below 1) Is there any offshore/overseas equivalent ETFs that I should buy over their US equivalent 2) It's the dividend that they withhold but not the capital gain right? I buy them through Singapore's brokerage iOCBC, if that's any help, since I work and live there nowadays even though not PR and not Sg citizen. this thread will help with 1) https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4744515/This post has been edited by zenquix: May 2 2020, 10:00 PM |

I was using TSG white label IB. i think someone mentioned before FSM SG can buy HK stocks too. perhaps you can look into both. |

No because it's basically you pay someone to buy etf for you and that someone will try to predict market based available data. |

QUOTE(alexkos @ Jan 8 2020, 06:58 PM) Reporting to mothership. Sp500 diy thread garnered 36 pages of attention. Special thanks to many sifu here who help with questions on sp500 thread. As an appreciation, I have a paid online survey only for those who are currently invested passively (you are qualified as long as you deem yourself a passive rather than active investor). Thank u and semua Mali ong 2020! hehe, second round of paid survey coming soon  only for those who have not participated the first time ya..... i find that the best way to buy usa etf is still via irish domiciled, IBKR, via instarem myr-eur route. |

Hi. Can anyone recommend a good performing Global Technology ETF? Are there any ETFs that tracks the MSCI World Information Technology Index? Apparently the MSCI World Information Technology Index can outperform S&P 500.
I discovered that Franklin Technology Fund (unit trust) uses the MSCI World Information Technology Index as it's benchmark. But I prefer investing in ETF, since the Franklin Technology fund doesn't really outperform it's benchmark.
