schd is dividend heavy, voo is growth, but both have to pay 30% withholding tax as a foreign investor right?

both are different things. can't really compare. you need to decide what you want to invest in - dividend stocks or growth stocks

Why not both

30% tax is a small price if u beliebe US will cont to be ahead of Malaysia in terms of growth and currency

buy voo pay lesser tax correct?

Do both but what ratio up to your risk assessment

30% WHT is nothing compared to the long term gains and compounding by reinvesting the dividends 🤦‍♀️

Why u say that?

This WHT is also why I go for US for growth/tech but not for dividend and income. Dividend n income I prefer this side of the world.

voo is growth driven, schd is dividend etf

Of course la, simply because VOO pays less dividends.

But the tax rate is the same.
