For samy etf ijr
Afaik, us small cap was booming during early 2012 until mid of 2018
Around 10% annualised, if I'm not mistaken.
When the trade war started, then it started to bear
Is there any etf performing well during trade wars?
I am interested to buy etf directly but afaik it is costly? From the thread I follow here,
Need high amount euro 4k or hefty fee
High lag day from foreign exchange to complete purchase. Might take up to 14 working days
Also, I am interested with your etf holdings. Mind sharing?
Yeah
Real problems started after the Dec 2018 bottom
IJR has around 25% in financials so once US started to reduce rates and the slowing down of the economy meant this ETF not surprisingly started to under perform.
The IGV ETF outperformed during the trade war.
It isn't costly if you have saved a bit though I am not 100% sure what is the right amount as I never looked into it. There are experts here who a more well verse with the cost savings.
I am only holding one ETF right now which is SMH and the rest are mainly in tech shares
