Advice for ETF allocation
Advice for ETF allocation
Hi all
I am considerig this allocation scheme:
VANGUARD S&P 500 UCITS ETF (VUAA) - XET
ISHSIII-CORE MSCI WORLD U.ETF (IWDA) - EAM
ISHSV-S&P 500 INF.TE.SEC.U.ETF (QDVE) - XET
iShares Core MSCI EM IMI UCITS ETF (EMIM) - EAM
ISHSIV-AUTOMATION&ROBOT.U.ETF (2B76) - XET
ISHARES IV-HEALTHC.INNOVATION (2B78) - XET
with
15,0%
40,0%
25,0%
5,0%
7,5%
7,5%
My goal is long term growth overweighting the US market and especially the tech sector
Is this allocation too dangerous ? I know that there is high overlap of the first 3 ETFs
Any suggestion to better tune it?

Better tune it to WHAT? What logic did you use to construct your port?

Re: Advice for ETF allocation
I think you would be better just to hold the global market in a single fund. You can work out what your effective US overweighting is with your projected portfolio.makaros wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 3:53 pm Hi all

Overweighting tech is about the last thing I'd do - given how much the sector has gone up. We are due another bear market cycle -- maybe around digital advertising? If you look in some of those funds, they often don't hold what we think they should hold? (ie Amazon is often listed as a consumer stock alongside WalMart).
The individual sector funds? That just adds to your risk, without compensatory return.
Re: Advice for ETF allocation
Hi,
I think that you have posted recently that you like a simple portfolio of VWCE or IWDA + EIMI which are nice enough combinations. However you haven't mentioned anything about ballast in either post.
The etfs that you have listed in this post may have some duplication involved, i.e. some of the companies may already be captured in the indices.
If you have a plan why don't you provide the bones of the plan here for some commentary? Do you want to have a basic portfolio with a tilt to tech and new medicine? Then allocate in your plan a percentage to those sectors of say 10% total and put the rest in plain vanilla global stocks and bonds etfs and then you can see how the tilting goes over time.
If I were starting a portfolio now I would go for VNGA80 at your stage.
BTW your location and tax status might be important in the choice of funds.

More info for my goal and myself: I am 28yo living in France and I have started investing for the past 1 year. Capital gains in France are taxed at 30%. I hold around 20 high conviction stocks (accounting for 50% of my portfolio) and I now want to build the remaining 50% with ETFs.
My goal is growth in the long term to complement my retirement fund. I plan to invest 400 euros per month on these ETFs and I am trying to find the best ETFs and the best weight for these ETFs based on my goal. I am confident in Tech but I am open to new interesting suggestions. My risk tolerance is not high either low. I could afford to lose 25%.
Would a selection like this be better?
VANGUARD S&P 500 UCITS ETF (VUAA) - XET 20,0%
ISHSIII-CORE MSCI WORLD U.ETF (IWDA) - EAM 45,0%

Re: Advice for ETF allocation
I'm going to be a little harsh here. Don't take it personally. Remember. You are on a Bogleheads board.
Your 50% in "high conviction stocks" has a 95% probability to UNDER PERFORM the FTSE all world index over the next 5 years. On WHAT do you base your CONVICTION?
The other 50% in UCITS ETFs makes no sense other than you seem to like tech, complexity, and overlap.

By high conviction I mean that after doing a deep DD, I believe these companies will continue growing over the next 10 years.
I have recently decided to stop investing more into these stocks and instead invest this money into good ETFs to reduce the overall risk of my portfolio.
Re: Advice for ETF allocation
Hello , this allocation will you expose a lot to US market , without a real hedging if this market would have a downside in the close future ( that could be probable) . this asset allocation probably will be over than 25% in a strong bear time.

Give it a try and report back on your learnings!
Re: Advice for ETF allocation
How did you react in March, 2020 when stocks were down 30 percent?
I think it is better then your first allocation.
Nevertheless, you are tilting toward US and tech which has had a great run for more then a decade, so, obviously, recency bias here.

It's "better". But still too overlapped, complicated, and tilted to FOMO.

iShares Core MSCI EM IMI UCITS ETF (EMIM) - EAM 10,0%"
1. Start with ONE world stock UCITS ETF. VWRD or one of its versions in other currencies. Stop here! You now own all the investible public companies in the world.
2. But if you insist and think you know more than the market you can SLIGHTLY tilt your equities to have more USA, EM, small caps, etc.

Concerning the allocation I agree that it might be a bit biased but I have updated it to:
ISHSIII-CORE MSCI WORLD U.ETF (IWDA) - EAM 66,0%
iShares Core MSCI EM IMI UCITS ETF (EMIM) - EAM 9,0%
ISHSV-S&P 500 INF.TE.SEC.U.ETF (QDVE) - XET 15,0%

Re: Advice for ETF allocation
Thanks for the valuable tips. Instead of VWRD I prefer IWDA + EMIM but essentially the idea is the same. To hold "all world".galeno wrote: ↑Sat Apr 17, 2021 11:07 am It's "better". But still too overlapped, complicated, and tilted to FOMO.

I am 28yo and I think adding SP500 & SP500 inf tech are risky but could try and see how it goes.
I estimated these ratio for the above allocation:
Price/Earnings Ratio 20.98
Price/Cashflow Ratio 14.12
Price/Book Ratio 3.67
Re: Advice for ETF allocation
If this were 100% of your equity allocation I'd say OK. You're a young guy who likes to tilt hard to USA and tech.
But it's NOT. The other 50% is in your 10 high conviction stocks.
Which are?

Read up on the "Nifty Fifty" crash of the early 1970s. The "one decision" stocks which turned out to not be so magical.
We hold it here that you can't beat, reliably, a fully informed market. You can only do so with inside information - and it's illegal to trade on that.
And be very sure the stocks in the S&P 500 IT sector are what you think they are. For example are Alphabet and Facebook members? I thought they were grouped with WalMart?
Re: Advice for ETF allocation
makaros,
are you familiar with
IUSQ iShares MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF or
VWCE Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF
or even the Vanguard LifeStrategy Fund Family?
A one fund solution for stocks or even stocks AND bonds will make your investment life easier.
To these core holdings you can add S&P500 or tech funds as satellites to overweight the US market and the tech sector.
Will it that make your portfolio better? The future will tell.

Re: Advice for ETF allocation
Very sensible allocation.
I don't remember whether you have a fixed income (bonds) percentage in your total portfolio? Generally I suggest most people should hold 20% in bonds, a Euro-hedged global bond fund (if home country is in the Eurozone).
Re: Advice for ETF allocation
I even just modified it to:
Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF USD Acc (VWCE) - XET VWCE 85,00%
iShares MSCI World Small Cap UCITS - (IUSN) XET IUSN 15,00%
Both commission-free on my broker (Degiro).
I live in France and I am 28yo. I will add bonds in the future I guess.

Re: Advice for ETF allocation
If you want to get extra exposure to tech and health I would add Nasdaq.
Maybe decrease world by 10% and allocate Nasdaq to that. In my opinion tech companies still have a big roof.

Re: Advice for ETF allocation
Remember there’s overlap at the bottom end of FTSE all world and the top end of MSCI Small cap in the 85% - 90/95% area of the investable universe.
Re: Advice for ETF allocation
Thanks for the info. So, VWCE contains a percentage of IUSN? Sorry but I am not aware of this. Could you elaborate more? I read online for a 3% overlap which is nothing...
Re: Advice for ETF allocation
If I am not mistaken (Rational Reminder podcast covered this topic) small cap by itself may not provide a premium worth the risk over large cap. Small cap value might be the way to go but good luck finding a fund that tracks that with low fees...
I'd keep it simple and go for developed world + emerging markets + global hedged bonds. IWDA + EMIM + AGGH or Vanguard's alternative.
You already have too much risk in your individual stocks.

Re: Advice for ETF allocation
MSCI World Small Cap covers the range of 85% - 99% of the investable universe in developed markets only.
https://www.msci.com/documents/10199/a6 ... 102eaa8399
FTSE All World covers up to 90-95% of the investable universe in developed and emerging markets.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... GvSpEejawK
So within the period 85% - 90/95%, there is some overlap in the indices.
As others have said, it's arguable whether small cap adds anything anyway. Investing in FTSE All World you're already capturing 90 / 95% of the investable universe. Is it worth adding complexity to chase a return which may or may not come when it should only be a small percentage of your portfolio?
Re: Advice for ETF allocation
But VWCE saves me all the rebalancing etc. Volume is lower but it's Vanguard and it's getting bigger and bigger. Volume is not a valid argument.
Re: Advice for ETF allocation
I see your point. I was thinking to also include an all-world small cap to potentially capture additional premium from small caps.. indeed, I will be allocating 15% to IUSN so with the overlap let's say max 20% in realityGenghis wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 2:32 pmMSCI World Small Cap covers the range of 85% - 99% of the investable universe in developed markets only.

Hi,
considering the diversity of your replies to the suggestions that you have received so far I would suggest selling the conviction stocks and buying only VNGA80. Simple solution subject to your tax regime in France, unfortunately no one has done a page on investing from France so far on the Bogleheads Wiki.

Simple solution subject to your tax regime in France, unfortunately no one has done a page on investing from France so far on the Bogleheads Wiki.
