Australian Chapter ?
Is there any other Australian Bogleheads on the forum ?

Re: Australian Chapter ?
Yes, there are lots of Aussie Bogleheads.
If five or more want to establish an Australian Local Chapter and one of you agrees to be the coordinator, just PM me and I'll get your group listed on the Local Chapter map so others can find you.
Good luck to our Australian Boglehead friends. Perhaps I'll be able to attend one of your future meetings.

Re: Australian Chapter ?
Just send me a PM with your first name and an email address you want to use for this purpose. Also let me know what name you'd like to use (Australian Local Chapter) or some other name (Perth Local Chapter) or whatever you'd like to be called. Once I have that information, I'll add your group to the Local Chapters Map so others can find and contact you and you'll be in business.duffman12 wrote:SurferD wrote:Hi Duffman, I would be interested in joining the Aussie chapter if you set one upHaven't set one up just yet, will do so this week !Samwell wrote:Aussie BH checking in, Long time lurker.

Perhaps I'll attend one of your meetings at some later date when I finally make it to Australia.

Re: Australian Chapter ?
Hi there, I am from Sydney Australia and am also interested. For the time being I'd advocate setting up an Australian Chapter in the first instance before splitting it up state by state.

Re: Australian Chapter ?
I'm another Sydneysider - new to Bogleheads but have been roughly following his investment philosophy for a couple of years now.
Let me know if a Sydney/Australia-wide chapter starts up - I'd be eager to join up!

Re: Australian Chapter ?
Well, we keep getting folks interested in getting an Australian Chapter going, but we still need someone to step up and agree to the the local chapter coordinator. Anyone interested? If so, PM me and we'll get your Local Chapter up and running.

Just going to bump this one
Re: Australian Chapter ?
I'm a Sydneysider. But I think it is an uphill battle to make this forum anything but American-focused and you're better off trying to start an Australian equivalent somewhere else. (I think Canadians have their own equivalent, which is why we almost never see questions about RRSP here.)The Falcon wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 8:16 pm Any more Sydneysiders hanging around?

While the basic idea of low costs, diversification, preferring index funds, and staying the course is universal, the actual concrete details are extremely US specific and the sheer number of Americans on this forum will always drown out non-American topics. (Which is fine, really.)

(linguistics: Registered Retirement Savings Plans "RRSPs" or "my RRSP". I don't think Canucks ever refer to it in the singular without a possessive. It's like Yorkshiremen say "time for bath" for "have a bath" and say "tea" for "dinner" -- they drop the indefinite articles on nouns. "Supper" is a word I have never heard an Englishperson use .
They invented the game. Canada has one of the highest cost funds markets I know of.While the basic idea of low costs, diversification, preferring index funds, and staying the course is universal, the actual concrete details are extremely US specific and the sheer number of Americans on this forum will always drown out non-American topics.

Re: Australian Chapter ?
Can Australians not invest in same funds that American do with a broker that deals in international securities/instruments? Is it safe?AlohaJoe wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 9:29 pmI'm a Sydneysider.

Re: Australian Chapter ?
Stay tuned. We're currently in the midst of setting up Non-US country-specific sub forums. We already have a group from Spain and one from Dubai in the UAE. If there's enough interest, Australia and other countries can be added, too.AlohaJoe wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 9:29 pmI'm a Sydneysider.

Re: Australian Chapter ?
Not in retirement funds, generally. In taxable funds, yes. But why should they buy US funds when there are Australian funds available?
Re: Australian Chapter ?
There are lots of funds available outside of Australia that don’t have equivalents within Australia. US vanguard has lots of products that have no equivalent within Vanguard Australia as well as lower expense ratios.

Re: Australian Chapter ?
Again, we have enough to get a Local Chapter up and running. All we need is for someone to step up and agree to be the Local Chapter Coordinator. That person doesn't have to be an investing guru. He/she simply communicates with members about meeting dates, times, locations and agendas.
Anyone interested in stepping up, please contact me via PM and I'll get your Local Chapter up and running. Would be good to have a Local Chapter in Australia to go along with all of our other international chapters.

Hi Vish. Isn't Investing in S&P500 index doing this? One would simply trade an index via a trading platform, no? I'm with axi trader. Or am i on a different tram? Thanks and go well out there.
