83. Should you switch to the newest (and cheapest) ETFs?
About this episode
Hayden and Dave discuss the implications of switching to newer, cheaper ETFs and their fit in long-term portfolios.
Would you sell your ETFs just to save 0.1% a year in fees? In this episode, Hayden and Dave unpack some of the newest additions to the ETF marketplace, and work out where (if anywhere) they'd fit in a long-term portfolio. They cover: 👉 BGBL vs VGS: half the management fee for basically the same portfolio, and why switching isn't free once tax enters the picture 👉 VDAL, Vanguard's answer to DHHF: all-growth and all-in-one, minus VDHG's 10% bonds, and when one-fund portfolios make the most sense 👉 EMKT and factor investing: why this emerging markets fund has outpaced VGE, and the catch of paying guaranteed fees for an unguaranteed outcome 👉 Currency hedging, finally explained: what HNDQ actually does differently to NDQ, and who might genuinely need it 👉 V500 and A300, the new cheap rivals to IVV and VAS, and whether brand power beats a lower fee 👉 Old-school LICs trading at 15% discounts: buying a dollar of assets for 85 cents, and the risks hiding in the bargain Happy EOFY from pearler!
