Sry new here, ETF pays dividend monthly? Means there will be no ex date like stocks for the ETFs?

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

Wow, thanks for your prompt response, the link I refer to is here: https://www.thefrugalstudent.com/why-im-not...-domiciled-etfs

I was set on CSPX but then when I saw this article, I felt like I made the wrong choice. What's your view on this?
*
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4856719

there was a comprehensive thread comparing the cost of investing in Ireland domiciled ETF vs straight investing in US ETF.
giving credit back to the thread ownerYggdrasil
the thread was comparing NASDAQ100, I remember the conclusion is that the differences is not really significant in long run.

but do note that the comparison is made based on NASDAQ100 which dividend yield is not that high (0.49%)
for a high dividend yield ETF, I personally reckon that it is still more cost efficient to opt for Ireland domiciled ETF.

However, having said that
I myself still buy US ETF because there are some ETFs that hard to find alternatives in Ireland domiciled version e.g. IBUY, OGIG etc.

Oh then yes, that monthly charges of 10 USD has been removed, so things have changed. CSPX is ok if you are fine with Blackrock. Once you can handle counterparty risk, then looks at tax matters. Investing in CSPX will not subject you to US estate taxes, but will UK charge you the same? So far I see no is the answer: https://www.gov.uk/tax-uk-income-live-abroa...e%20UK%20shares.

You might want to check elsewhere to confirm. After CP risk and tax, then fees, you need to check the returns of either funds versus the index and how large their tracking errors are? Not to forget, VOO is a distributing ETF, CSPX is an accumulating ETF, so do you want to get dividends constantly or reinvest all of them automatically with the help of the fund managers?

It really depends on your preference and risk appetite, I can't make a judgement for you. In the end it is your money you are ultimately responsible for it. smile.gif

Another thing to take into account for US ETFs is the estate tax that kicks in once you accumulated USD60,000.

oh confirm there is no estate tax for Ireland domicile ETF?
can't find any clarity on this because i doubt that, as Ireland-domiciled ETF still holds US stocks undeyling.

i personally did something very funny is that i have 'hidden will' that confirm my next of kin can sell on their own if i croak (touchwood) whistling.gif

You  are serious? If not holding US stock, it can only be some form of derivatives? That would introduce substantial counterparty risk, not just on the asset-management side, but also the very underlying asset the fund is holding. If this is the case, to sleep well at night, better go for US ETFs.

"Synthetic" UCITS are not really for the faint-hearted. 

Anyway, https://www.ishares.com/uk/individual/en/li...sheet-en-gb.pdf this suggests that it is really stocks ("Physical replication" in product strategy and "Physical" in product structure)

There is a synthetic ETFs that tracks S&P500: https://www.ishares.com/uk/professional/en/...-ucits-etf-fund you can see the underlying assets are swaps and it is "synthetic" in nature.

my bad for the shortcut -,- i meant i doubted UCITs or ireland ETF is not subjected to estate tax, because it is still holdings US stocks underlying.
however, cant find any clarity on these, only tax advisor can advise maybe.

Also for question raiser's information, one factor why I didnt opt for UCITs or ireland ETF bcoz you can hardly find an UCITs or ireland ETF which fulfill the following:
1) really domiciled in Ireland (a big number of them domiciled in luxembourg, swiss which their tax structure is kind of ambiguous to foreign investor)
2) accumulating distribution policy
3) a UCITs or ireland version to the performing ones in US which i mentioned e.g. IBUY, OGIG

so at the end i just opted for US ETF due to the hassle sweat.gif

Malaysia ETF volume and liquidity very low, not recommended

US/Ireland domiciled ETF -> Broker = IBKR (u need to have SG account), or locally -> FSM
