Or just buy VWRA. No dividends, it's just accumulating by itself.

Would suggest to buy BNKS and XDWF.. Both invest in banks and financial institutions amidst this interest rate hike period by Fed. BNKS focus on US financial institution. XDWF on developed market's financial institutions.

For S&P500 better go for VUAA (same thing as CSPX). Cheaper and it is rising in value. Easier to get into it due to price.

If you're into ESG - environmental social and governance companies, buy SUSW or SASU.

SMH good pick also due to shortage of semiconductors globally. Likely price hikes incoming for all things semiconductors.

All listed here are Irish Domiciled ETFs. I did some research on my own, and also reading articles before recommending.

I would avoid tech stocks for time being as they are expected to go down a lot. Energy and consumer staples another good etf to invest in.

My VWRA, SWRD and CSPX went down alot in last two weeks. So will stay away from them first till stabilize. Not sure how much more they can drop.

I'd advice to avoid advice from people who have just started investing, jumping from one failed investment vehicle to another, repeatedly timing the market then get burned, yet go around regurgitate whatever they just read yesterday without fundamentally understanding it ... if they can provide sound justification or reference material for you, then take those and do your own research.

Just because it's an act of considerate kindness doesn't mean its factually true, always do your own due diligence...
Depending on your capital, you might want to consider some of the following factors:

SWRD only covers developed country large and mid caps, so no Alibaba, no Tencent, no TSMC, usually people who go with SWRD will mix in EIMI or WSML for either emerging market exposure and/or developed country small caps exposure. The cheaper TER is likely due to missing such coverage. You are trading exposure for fees reduction.

If you end up holding multiple ETF due to wanting exposure to certain segments, you need to take into consideration of your purchase and rebalance cost - buying 3 tickers monthly is going to eat into your cost if you aren't throwing in a decently large amount.

If you wanted to chase performance, you can just all in SP500(VUAA/CSPX), if you wanted to diversify (via buying SWRD), why stop at large caps and mid caps of developed countries?
Winners rotate, Large/Mid and Small caps take turns getting returns, US and the rest of the World take turns getting returns - hence why VWRA is recommended - and I am sure those who hold VWRA would happily hold VT instead of it didnt had a 30% withholding tax.

Personally I recommend to VWRA and chill too, hold one ticker, get rich slowly but surely.

Yeap, VWRA unfortunately do not carry small caps, its not ideal but it's impact is smaller than you might think. I've posted this before somewhere else so don't mind the copy paste:
Of course, if you believe in small cap value tilt or factor tilting in general, it's very easy to quickly dig back into the rabbit hole that we just crawled out of, like adding in AVUV/AVDV and just ignore the withholding tax since small caps rarely generate enough dividend to matter, and since they are US listed, the trading cost is way lower, etc.

But my personal recommendation is always, keep it simple, hold VWRA, spend the time on increasing one's income instead.

As for lump-sum vs DCA, it's a much debated topic so I'll just give you my personal opinion:

Time in the market > Timing the market, lump sum should give you a higher return - keyword being should.
While VWRA is relatively stable, with VWRA being basically ~60% US, and lump-sum into a decade long bull market is always scary, can you really withstand your 50k poofing to 30k overnight, and keep holding it for another decade or two?

For me, I have a good 20 year horizon minimum ahead of me, I'm looking forward to a crash to test my resolve, get cheap shares, and I believe in investing in VWRA enough that I haven't really found another place that I would put the majority of my money into (e.g. if for any reason VWRA drops 50% overnight, well, chances are nowhere else is really safe anyway), so personally I will lump-sum that amount in today.

Besides, I think I'll have much bigger regret seeing VWRA go up by 3 dollars when I only deposited only 5k out of 50k and end up panic FOMO lump-sum anyway
