Interesting.

Wondering if it has an Irish counterpart. Time to look further 👀

The witholding tax on dividends for US ETF is a problem. It applies to even bond and money market ETFs.

Personally I use Singapore government bond ETF (abfsg) as an alternative to US Treasuries. There are also Money Market ETFs in SGX and HK.

Also interesting. Will look into it.

Thanks!!

You can also look at UUP ETF as another alternative for USD exposure.

This is not a Money Market ETF, but rather a Futures Contracts based ETF. So it has no distribution. Fees are on a high side, but it performance is good.

P/S I will be a bit cautious to start piling into USD now, considering it's at such high levels.

oooh UUP is familiar. KDI uses it (may be outdated as it seems like they change ETF more often than SA)

Yeah, for now. I have USD based ETF and SGD reits.

I need to read up more on the future contracts. Seems like risky investment? Based on my limited understanding haha.

Thanks for the info. Time to put some moolah in MMF other than MYR😆

Futures contract can be a bit risky if u DIY them yourself.

For ETF, it's the ETF manager doing it. The more risky ones are those leveraged 2x or 3x ones. If it's unleveraged, then should be fine. But fees are usually higher than simple physical ETFs.

Sweet unholy god what is all this perverted talk in a Bogleheads thread?

Sorry for the heresy talk. 😆

Please continue DCA VWRA discussion ..

Hahaha, time has changed a lot since I've asked for your advice regarding Bursa listed ETF and China ETF back in Feb 2021, I am an honest-to-god non sector picking total market investor now

😆
Worry not still within boglehead topic of looking for MMF 😆

Hahaha, mostly joking for some laughs, we haven't turned into a crypto thread yet and that alone is good enough.

Even on the Bogleheads subreddit, plenty of folks are a far cry from the traditional VT and chill during the massive bullmarket too

Good to know u have embraced ETFs! The total market thing is a respectable approach. Historically, pretty hard to beat.

If u r 100% equities, you have to learn to live with the volatility tho.

I'm still using both single stocks n ETFs (and some unit trust), jump around between asset classes, sectors etc..very UnBoglehead.

Current allocation* is:
35% Treasuries
20% Currencies
10% Gold
35% Equities

* Approximate

I too can considered as unboglehead haha

100% equities now and with REIT and bank sectors.

Planned to add some to MMF soon.

Count me in.

I'm also onboard ETF via Rakuten Trade.

Started Investing in Bursa since 2012, although return has been nice, I am beginning to lose hope in Malaysia Economy

Loading the few ETF into my portfolio slowly:
1. ICLN Nasdaq
2. LIT Nasdaq
3. HYDR Nasdaq
4. TAN Nasdaq
5. 2809.HK

I'm going heavy on alternative energy, because the price of energy will not drop so soon. Everybody needs energy. Oil and Gas difficult to get funding from financial institution leads to higher price of production

Welcome and all Ze best in our investment journey

🤤

I will slowly load up.

Every 10 share of VWRA, every 2 share of BRK B

Wow, nice.

I can only load up 5 VWRA at current pricing.

BRK.B wanted to buy these before.
Then I see Warren Buffet’s age.. I think twice.

Waiting new leadership takes over first, and proven stability before I’d invest in it.

Proper passover ad

Moreover the holding wont change much as they already anchored long
