4 Best ETFs to Supercharge Your Roth IRA

I wish they taught investing at school level. There is so much advantage to doing this! My biggest regret is that I started so late.

I wish I could have retired in my 50's. I'm 65 now, I started investing late . After some research, I found a strategy that helped. I'm pleased to say I'm retiring with at least $2 million.

A good argument for adding international stocks, despite how the US has outperformed international for so long, is the concept of reversion to the mean. Worst case scenario, it never outperforms but it's only a small portion of your portfolio anyway. Best case scenario, it's a good partial hedge. You never buy insurance because you're never going to need it.

[@enonknives5449]

Unfortunately for international funds, the mean you revert to is low.

[@thomaslunden]

​@enonknives5449 that's why international should only be a small percentage of your portfolio. American stocks have been very dominant for a while, but it's unlikely that this will always stay true.

[@enonknives5449]

@@thomaslunden -- US stocks have outperformed in the long run and are likely to outperform in the long run. International stocks have infrequently outperformed and are likely to outperform only infrequently. That's how reversion to the mean works. I agree that international stocks should only be a small percentage of your portfolio...preferably zero. However, I might consider an international high dividend ETF like VYMI yielding 4.38%, since I'd be chasing the yield and not the growth.

[@SnowyCountryChicken]

I’ve been following international stock funds since 1994 and they just don’t perform that well, not as well as US large cap stock funds.

[@paulj2948]

I love VOO and have some VTI, too. In my Roth IRA as well as taxable brokerage account. The volatility lately has made me sit on the side to buy more. Just holding that extra cash in a money market getting 5.4% 7 day yield lately.

[@vasunseeker]

I’m so confused now! I’ve always thought the best place in invest REITS is in a Roth or HSA, to take advantage of tax optimization.

[@jairfarias4139]

I do Total market and international also. But I have a REIT fund thrown in there as well. Even though I know REIT funds are crap….I am hopeful it makes a comeback in the future.

[@mariaojeda3333]

Very conservative approach👍, what about YieldMax covered calls Etfs in a Roth IRA?, distributions are monthly instead quarterly, especially for people ready for retirement, these could generate a huge cash flow for retirees.

Does re-investing dividends into a roth ira count towards the contribution limit?

[@aana383]

No. Only the cash you put in counts toward the limit.

[@HannibalOrMaybeJustRex]

I just started a Roth. I'm starting by keeping it simple with VOO/SCHD. Wonder if keeping SCHD in there and using my taxable as a spillover is a good move? Or maybe that's complicating things and just have it in taxable?

[@kittywynne6739]

This seems to be focused on growth over the long run, more appropriate for my kids in their 30's. Which ETFs are best for me (64) as I still want to work & contribute to my Roth for another 6 years? I'm guessing income over growth, no?

[@enonknives5449]

I prefer to put SCHD in a taxable account, because the dividends are likely to be low for a long time compared to your ordinary income. The qualified dividends will also be taxed at the lower long-term capital gains rate...which for many people will be 0%. The taxable account also gives you access to money that can be withdrawn without penalty. In the long run, you will want to use the SCHD dividends for funding retirement, and you can do that without selling something else and paying a lot of capital gains taxes to rebalance your allocation. I would use tax-deferred IRAs/401Ks for growth stocks/ETFs, and for any income producing assets (bonds, REITS) since those would be taxed at the ordinary income rate anyway. My Roth IRA is all in Vanguard Growth. Good call.

[@michaelak1416]

i would do the exact opposite. dividend/income in roth. growth in taxable. to each their own.

[@enonknives5449]

@@michaelak1416 -- Growth in taxable also makes sense because there wouldn't be taxes on growth until you sell. You're in control. Dividends and income in Roth also make sense. Literally everything is better in a Roth. It is the tax-deferred IRA/401K that causes people trouble. If I had to do it over again, I would have maxed out Roth, only put enough in 401K to get the match, and put everything else in taxable. Unfortunately, I'm thirty years too late.

I am very new to the Roth IRA (made my first deposit on 9/13/24). Is it recommended to invest in all 4 of these or pick one or two of these? I watched a previous video on having a 2 fund portfolio that mentioned VOO and VTI. Thanks for the help.

[@hogue3666]

Great video. Thanks, Jarrad! I'm a bit lost on your thoughts on dividend stocks in a roth. I thought you would want to shield high taxes from dividends and reit payouts in a roth. I would be happier with 1 million dollars in SCHD and O in a roth than 1 million dollars in VUG and SCHG. HELP! :)

[@janshuster1426]

REITs should be in a Roth because they don't pay out qualified dividends taxed at the capital gains rate. Other securities paying qualified dividends can be held in taxable accounts. Option trading should be done only in retirement accounts as gains are taxed at short term rate otherwise.

[@logicalmisery3737]

My Roth is full of REITs (GLPI, VICI, RITM, GNL) so I'm confused why the recommendation to put them in taxable? My taxable has stuff I'll hold forever like VTI and FSGGX so worst case scenario is long term cap gains.

[@swright5690]

What ETFs do you recommend holding in a ROTH IRA while in retirement and making withdrawals?

This was the best explanation on what investments go best in an account type I’ve seen, thanks!

Just VR and chill. My HSA is 60% VT, 20% BNDW, 10% GLDM, 10% REET. (half of my portfolio is FDRXX while interest rates are high. This year I'll start changing that percentage more towards this portfolio).

[@rickyrodriguez8720]

Can you do Fidelity also? Thanks.

[@rpshah79]

What about small cap value ETFs? They are more risky but have outperformed large cap value and large cap growth over multi-decade periods.

[@JarradMorrow]

Yes, those would be good for a Roth IRA

[@gregwessels7205]

Same argument as with International in my opinion. One day the Magnificent 7 will slow their outperformance so it is wise to diversify beyond them.

Great video but I was a little confused about SCHD and REITs with dividends.. you were saying they are better in a traditional IRA or 401k where the dividend would not be taxed?? I'm under the impression you would be taxed in those, and not taxed in the Roth..

Looking at the charts (1yr, 3yr, 5yr, Max) for VXUS against VOO tells me to stay away for international.

Unfortunately that past performance doesn't tell us how things will play out in the future. It's definitely possible that VOO could continue to outperform but none of us know. Which is why global diversification will set you up to capitalize on whatever happens.

[@xlavahott4547]

And a broken clock is right twice a day, but it is still broken. $10k invested in VOO since 2014 is now worth almost $38k, while VXUS is worth less than half of that.

[@JarradMorrow]

Again, you're referring to the past and not the unknown future. I'm not suggesting I know what's going to happen either, though, which is why I promote global investing. But if going 100% U.S. stocks works for your personal investing style and behavior, then stick with it because that's all that matters 👍🏻

[@edwardloizides5415]

You are mistaken. It’s not wrong to place a dividend ETF if a Roth account , it just doesn’t grow like a growth ETF. So your not maximizing tax free growth. However if you have enough growth and require diversification then by all means use the Roth for a dividend etf . It is wrong to place any dividend etf in a traditional Ira since now you’ll be paying ordinary tax rather than the reduced tax rate that qualified dividends pay you. That’s a mistake. And in fact you really should never have a traditional 401K or IRA unless you have no choice ( over a Roth) and there is a matching employer contribution. Any type of IRA or 401k is merely an IOU to the federal / state governments. Smoke and mirrors and were only created as a forced savings for the inept saver.
