1. Would you buy a broad based passive ETF (e.g. VOO US) which is cheap 0.03% p.a., or would you invest in themed/managed ETF (e.g. SKYY US) which is expensive 0.60% p.a.? Why?
*
I don't prefer thematic ETF because it's sector specific and for me to diversify, I will need to buy a few different ETFs which will incur more costs.
Managed ETF is not my cup of tea because not many managers can outperform in the long run.
I hold QQQ instead of VOO despite QQQ having 0.2% p.a. fees.

2. I think most people here uses IBKR or some other broker. I remember someone say that the "sales charges" is high (i.e. brokerage/dollar invested), hence better not to do DCA.
*
Fees are already much lower or equivalent to local brokerages.
If you want to DCA, try to DCA minimum RM6k per transaction. If you DCA RM1k per transaction, it's not worth it.
Always measure fees as a % of trade transaction.

Sifu-sifu sekalian, I'm sure this had been debated but let me try again:

1. Would you buy a broad based passive ETF (e.g. VOO US) which is cheap 0.03% p.a., or would you invest in themed/managed ETF (e.g. SKYY US) which is expensive 0.60% p.a.? Why?
2. I think most people here uses IBKR or some other broker. I remember someone say that the "sales charges" is high (i.e. brokerage/dollar invested), hence better not to do DCA.

However I did a simple math for TSG, e.g. i buy 4 units of VUSD per mth. GBP1.5/231.4 = 0.65%. Coming from overcharged Malaysian UTs, I thought it's not too bad a "sales charges". How does we weigh the cost of DCA vs sales charges? Any thoughts?

There's only 3 ETFs I will ever buy ARKK, ARKW and KWEB. Reason is I believed tech is the future and I have been with tech since 2015, the returns are crazy and I don't want to buy lousy companies like GM, Ford, IBM, Intel, Exxon. Another reason is ARK have beaten the S&P500 for few years already.
With TSG you can DCA cause its cheap vs using Malaysia based brokerage.

Don't forget the management fees of 1.5-8%p.a for UT + service charge.

KWEB is China Tech companies which generating revenues from Apps and Web Technologies while MCHI is diversified China industries which includies banking, construction and consumer sectors

RamJade loves Tech sectors because of the growth hence his pick either KWEB or ARKK

Seldom anyone here buys QQQ, XLK or CQQQ

similar to stock some ETF pay dividend some not, not necessary monthly, payment schedule is different from ETF to ETF.

AFAIk there will be ex-date too, you might google the desired ETF for information

What is the latest way to buy ETF for Malaysian? I noticed the #1 post through Ameritrade or IB is like 6 - 7 years ago. I am considering VOO, ARK and maybe something from China.

Cheapest way is still via IB. No one can best their commission.. Not to mentioned they have now removed the pesky Usd10/month fee which makes it even cheaper. Combine with the fact you can deposit SGD directly via local transfer, exchange at Spot rate inside interactive broker and open sg banks as Malaysian you can't get any cheaper than this.

I just saw the Zeit Invest video recommending CSPX over VOO because of tax of US vs Ireland domicile. I'm not sure when the video was uploaded but is it still the preferred choice, CSPX or has taxation for index funds changed over the year?

What's complicated? All you need is CIMB Malaysia. Then open account using CIMB sg website. Then fund CIMB sg account.
After that open interactive broker. All online. No need visit sg or us to open account.

Step by step instructions can see this blog.

https://ringgitfreedom.com/investing/invest...station-global/
-just skip the tradestation page and go straight to interactive broker website and click open account. After that the steps are the same.

Yes, after watching some videos last night, got a better understanding. I'm looking to buy into CSPX (guess it's still the best choice for S&P500), high dividend stock and maybe China tech market index.

The same video I watched in Post #1 recommends TSG over regular IBKR. Do you have reasons to contradict the recommendation? Please share some insights. Thank you in advance.

Ziet has something to say about TSG vs IB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvwoBjGPG8Y&t=169s

That's pretty much the case. But IB's customer service isn't that bad last time I tried, there's free support via US toll free line instead of emailing back and forth with TSG.

Perhaps need more time to observe. Main reasons for choosing IB are the lower commissions and the availability of fractional shares trading.

It's old news. Last time yes. It's because last time IBKR have USD10/month inactivity fees hence better to go TSG route to avoid paying the fees. But since they abolished it, no more incentive to use TSG.

How much lower is the commission? I tried looking it up but I am not sure which pricing scheme do I refer to on IBKR site, got fixed and tiered pricing, plus some of them like LSE seems to have higher minimum fee than TSG somehow?
