r/ETFs

What the title says. Which is best as a satellite to a core like VT to capture the best growth in AI/tech? Like a 10/15% ish

For long term investing, since they are exactly the same just with lower expense ratios, is it worth replacing all my VOO with SPYM.. and similarly replacing QQQM with QNDX for their lower expense ratios? Both in a Roth, so no tax events for doing so. Just looking for opinions.

What is the best ETF to invest in, given my circumstances?

- 18M

- UK-based

- £1,666 monthly S&S ISA contributions from 20 y/o (I'm traning to become an airline pilot and will be on £63k from 20 y/o; will be living at home for some time so can max ISA contributions)

- S&S ISA is my retirement fund to bridge the gap between early retirement and receiving my workplace pension - so I plan to hold the ETF in S&S ISA for 20-30 years, without any withdrawals

The title sums up the basics, 37 year old with no near term major expenses expected and $25K in cash sitting in a checking account, needing to invest in a regular brokerage account, what ETF's do you pick. Assume money may be needed in 10 -12 years or so.

What what do you think of a portfolio of equal parts of GARP, SPMO, VFLO and GFLW? If not what do you suggest, some risk is acceptable for this investment as this is extra money that needs to be put somewhere.

In my RH acct I have AVUS and VGT......not sure "how" many ETF's ones acct needs (personal preference) but if you would recommend one or two.......on my radar is SPMO and GARP......thoughts welcomed!

Personally prefer SMH due to heavy exposure to NVDA and TSM, which my core holding (SPMO) lacks

Do you hold any? Things like RSST if you hold what % of your portfolio are managed futures?

I hold 15% managed futures

21M, planning to throw in 20k straight up then 1k monthly

When Treasury yields rise above 5%, income ETFs must earn their place. Do y'all think a complicated options strategy provides enough return to justify its fees, capped upside, and added risk. Thoughts? Ideas?

I’m considering investing $100 a day for the long term. VOO seems straightforward, but I’m open to more aggressive options and comfortable with volatility.

Would you choose VTI, SCHG, QQQM, another ETF, or a mix? Curious what you’d pick and why.

How do you think 23 hour US stock market trading is going to change the way the market and investors behave?

I have VTI,VXUS, SPMO in my brokerage , and I just invest into VOO only for my Roth IRA. I really want growth in both without me having to constantly think about whether or not I’m investing wrongly.

At what point would it make sense to buy dividends etfs ?? Currently 28 years old

I’ve been thinking about adding a bond ETF, specifically something like Vanguard’s VGLT, to my portfolio for a little more diversification.

My portfolio is currently pretty ETF heavy already, VOO, VO, AVUV and SCHF. with interest rates and Treasury yields being as high as they are right now, I’ve been wondering if this is a reasonable time to start building a small bond position.

I know bond ETFs can still drop in price, especially longer-duration ones like VGLT, so I’m not looking at them as a guaranteed “safe” investment. I’m more interested in whether having something like 5–10% in bonds would actually make sense alongside my current allocation and potentially give me some stability during a stock-market downturn.
Would you personally consider adding a bond ETF at these yield levels, or would you just stay fully invested in equities.
Curious what you guys think, especially if you’ve held VGLT or similar Treasury ETFs through the recent rate increases.

Any input would be appreciated thanks !

Hello! Please use this Megathread for your portfolio review/rate my portfolio posts.

I currently invest in VYMI, VUG, SCHG, SCHD, QQQM, and VOO. Around $2500 in my portfolio. I'm currently 21 in college and I want to know if what I am doing is correct. From I've seen people say to invest mostly on investing on growth ETF's like SCHG and QQQM rather than broad market focused ETF'S. I'm young but I want to invest a lot early on so I can enjoy financial freedom early on in my 30s. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to allocate my $26 a day investments. Thank you very much.

~ Best regards,

Poor 21 year old college student
