Australian Low Cost Index Funds (2021) // How I Started My Passive Investing Australia Journey

[@MichaelCowann]

I'm a simple man when David uploads I like and watch.

[@DavidQuan]

Lmao 😂 thanks for dropping by ;)

[@jnelwin]

amazing David. You have given few information which no bloody site or even the big so called traders have ever given on ETFs and index funds.

[@smileerydaybright7573]

You don't even know simple

[@barramundi4196]

Just stumbled onto your channel and am loving the content. It's refreshing seeing an Aussie with well made videos talking about investing.

[@robertalexandro2162]

I've been considering buying ETFs/SCHD stocks for retirement, I have set asides $100k but somewhere along the line, I get cold feet maybe because I'm a rookie and have no idea what I'm doing, please I could really use some guideline

[@Froockle]

Ahh! Passive Investing, the idea of money working for you and getting paid through dividends is soo good. Awesome video thanks David!

[@DavidQuan]

I enjoy getting money out of the blue from time to time ;) How's the sound quality?

[@Froockle]

@@DavidQuan A lot more crisp and clean!!

[@amosmark8800]

Great video Dave

[@zamasu_777]

I really like MVW as a passive investment, the equal weighting is far better than market cap weighting imo

[@badrinarayanramanujan2205]

Hi David, your videos are super easy even for novice like me to understand stuff. Thank you. I am looking to start investing in Index funds. How do I get started investing in Index funds? What do you think about superhero app? Since the ASX is on the high, is this a good time to invest? Or should I wait. What is the strategy?

[@ryanwoo4578]

Just wondering does VTS require W-Ben8 form in order to reduce the US tax?

[@missjess1990]

Great video David! You’re really inspiring me to get started on my investing journey!

[@kvllu]

David, your videos are so helpful, looking forward to the ethical investing and retire by 35 vids you mentioned! Thanks so much (:

[@dippy9119]

How do you manage the tax calculation headaches that come with investing in ETFs every month?

[@Neil.Denize]

Great video mate, a very good overview of how to invest In low-cost index funds. I'm a big fan of Vanguards ETFs as well, I'm a big fan of VAE aswell.

[@DavidQuan]

Glad you liked it! I didn't know VAE existed haha so many choices nowadays

[@Neil.Denize]

@@DavidQuan hahaha I agree there are so many options, yeah it gives you good exposure to asia except for Japan, they have just released some good ethical ETFs this year as well which is great to see.

[@jasonlai1009]

Would you recommended VAS or ARG? I know both are different, but in terms of dividends, which one is the better options in the long run? Thanks David for the video!

[@robd5995]

Thank you. I’m sure this video is still relevant today

[@niks_mania6667]

Hi David, your videos are always great. I just wonder if your investments are inside your superannuation like a self managed super or are you investing outside of your super? If you have read Barefoot Investor, the writer advise to invest in stocks inside your super fund. What is your thought on this one?

[@bo-dellenorth7974]

Hi David can i get your thoughts on buying ETFS using stake - America seems to have lower management fees and better returns for ETFS such as VOOG - S&P Growth ETF and VUG - Growth ETF. I am considering buying etfs through stake due to this as you also don't pay brokerage if you want dollar cost average. I also see you bought VTS through CMC - y not just buy it through stake and eliminate brokerage?

[@anthonyperugini5137]

Hi David fantastic video!! I was wondering what happens to your shares if they are bought say under Vanguard personal investor or other platforms using the custodian model. Can those shares ever be moved into your name on the registry or do you lose your shares if they were to ever go broke ?

[@allychua376]

David, awesome content as ever! Thank you so much for all your hard work. Could you talk more about structuring your portfolio for tax reasons? Like are you investing under your name or create a company? Many thanks in advance :D

[@farhad0711]

Thanks for priceless informations. Just wanted to ask you how can I reinvest the dividends back on my capital? Thanks, Farhad

[@das0ul177]

Great vid could this work for people in NZ

[@grplayer]

Why do you not use CMC Markets for US stocks?

[@vsnacc9494]

I enjoyed this video but I don't have minimum $500, example for ASX.

[@ericas9409]

Hi David, when you did bought VTS, do they send the W8-BEN Forms for you to fill in or how does it work? I am very interested in VTS! Thanks :)

[@premiumcultureclothing474]

VTS is listed on ASX so you don't have to fill out W8-BEN form

[@andeh117]

Do you recommend investing amounts monthly into LICs or ETFs? Or waiting for a quarter and doing as a lump sum?

[@JD-tk1ci]

Can you do coaching?

[@ASXAnalytics]

Really interesting video on researching and tracking etfs. Thnks for the insights!

[@kennylau9677]

Surprised you didn't mention BetaShares ASX 200 Solative index which has a 0.07% management but it's pretty new so you can't do a 5 year comparison. I also wonder how VTS factors in currency exchange fees. Is this in the management cost or lower returns?

[@sidiwei6720]

Mate can I ask if when u invest in international eft, do u hedge currency risks at all, because vanguard turned me off with their VTS with no hedge, where as the black rock equivalent is

[@aysinduarte]

Thanks again David. Have you done much research on WHSP?

[@rezwanakhanrede4898]

Hey, can you make a video about your thoughts on booming medical cannabis sector like CPH.asx

[@shady_mixes]

Hey David, can you talk about some of the other ETFs esp the ones in the US portfolio...i.e high growth ETFs such as ARKK?

[@nzreprezenta]

David i need some help buddy i wanna do this but dont know where to start

[@PhoneyToilet]

I'm looking into creating an account for Sharesight. Do you use the free or a paid version? I currently hold less than 10 types of holdings so I think the free version is enough for me. Thanks!

[@DavidQuan]

You answered your own question haha

[@sempei58]

you say index funds are not traded on the exchange? Isnt ARG, AFI index funds?

[@MissBollywood4eva]

What do you mean when you say dividends are higher for VAS because the companies are in 'mature industries'?

[@DavidQuan]

So what I was referring is that companies in australia are largely banks, industrials or materials, whereas the companies in the US are technology companies

[@MissBollywood4eva]

@@DavidQuan ah ok thank you so much for clarifying :)

[@explorethebush]

Good video thank you. Subbed

[@123machet]

Hey David, you should check out Selfwealth for Aussie shares. $9.50 fixed brokerage which means it will be cheap to buy and cheap to sell if you do in the future.

[@VV-lr7xe]

vts fee you mentioned as 0.03 is for us vts. asx vts fee is 0.04

[@kaush00112]

Hey David, What are your thoughts on VDHG vs VTS? do you recommend having money in both or would you do only one or the other (in terms of maximising growth)? Awesome videos btw! I haven't missed one!

[@itsmePassport]

So what is your Goal to retirement $1,000,000 total or a passive weekly income with no day job like $1000 a week.

[@FelippeDiaz]

Does investing in NIKE count as buying Jordans? 😅

[@yourenotwrong3511]

No

[@Mizko]

🔥🔥🔥

[@DavidQuan]

Thanks for dropping by man I appreciate it ;)

[@christopherellis2663]

Well, now have $33k in the game, and it's paying off and increasing in value. 🤑

[@rossanaimery]

We're ready to invest as well but were thinking to wait to see if there is another crash in the coming months. Just curious as to why now when the forecast looks grim.

[@prezescargo3389]

Yo whats up man... You should look into Benchmark Protocol $MARK.... 32x rewards for LPs starting 2morrow. Under the radar gem. Its tied to the VIX (CBOE).
