[@Wokuotai]

Hi, I would like to know why you invest in the VWCE at Interactive brokers instead of Trade Republic, is there any difference in favor at IB? I have both accounts open and don't know which one to decide on for a DCA strategy. I am writing to you from Spain. Thanks for your videos. It is unbeatable.

[@AngeloColomboFi]

I buy VWCE on both brokers pretty much every month - at 9:42 in the video you can see I bought more shares on Trade Republic on Nov. 29 :) If you're investing smaller amounts on a regular basis (eg. less than 500€ each time), then the commission-free recurring investments on Trade Republic likely make more sense. Luckily you can always transfer shares between the two (for free) later on anyway

[@xeniadelsol]

@@AngeloColomboFi Great question and great reply. Thanx!!!! I was thinking exactly about that. I have my Wise account, but I will probably go to Trade Republic now that they've become a bank (better interest for positive bank balance, no withheld tax) and start investing to VWCE from there.

[@joaocampos9615]

Hey, Angelo. Thank you for your videos, i following you for quite some time (2 years i guess ) and always find your videos honest and trustworthy. However i have question that i cannot clarify and i have hope that you could. If we invest in any kind of fund, and the fund goes down, and we want to sell it. Is the company that manages the fund obligated to buy your share or not ? If so, we can just sell it in Degiro, i guess. Or in another way, we just have to wait for investor whiling to buy to match or order, paying maintenance of the fund, of the account and so on ? All the best, a great Christmas and new year. :)

[@AngeloColomboFi]

We as investors fully own the stocks within the fund, not the fund provider. Thus the assets are fully protected even in case of bankruptcy. If the fund provider goes bankrupt or closes the fund, the fund is liquidated (stocks sold) and we as investors get our share value paid in cash to our account.

Hi Angelo, Do you have any tips for filing taxes from capital gains incurred from sale of stocks in Austria? Do you do it on your own or seek the help of an advisor?

[@AngeloColomboFi]

I file taxes on my own - depending on the broker you use, you should be able to get a yearly tax report which should help with that. Stocks are pretty straight-forward, ETFs are a bit more complicated, but brokers like Trade Republic and Scalable Capital take that into account in their reports.

[@AngeloColomboFi]

Haha, I'll make sure to bring it back next time! My number one is still Interactive Brokers, due to its long history and strong financial position, but Trade Republic comes right after. Since you can always transfer shares between the two later on, I'd say Trade Republic if you're planning on regularly investing amounts smaller than 500€ due to its commission-free recurring investments, and IB if you're investing 500€ or more each time (because of its 1.25€ minimum fee using the tiered pricing model). Happy holidays to you as well from Austria! 🥂

I'm just looking into this and it seem like that is the case after 6th of Dec 2023. Before that date, they were not a bank and the interest were considered capital gains (at least in my country) and taxed as such, where as now those 4% are interest on positive bank balance.

Hi Angelo I have a question for you: what's your strategy in case of recession? You sell your position at a loss only to wait for the crash and buy more of the same ETF?

Hello. I want to invest in ETFs, however I have some doubts. I've seen that you advise 1 of these ETFs, the Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (VWCE) or the SPDR MSCI ACWI (IMIE). My question is, is just one of these enough? They have different participation unit values, meaning their cost per "share" is different due to their evolution. Does this have any influence on profitability values? If you invest €1000 in both and they have the same return of 10%? Does it have any influence?

Yes, either of them is a great way to invest into thousands of stocks across the world. They're likely to perform very close to each other. Their individual cost per share doesn't mean anything.

[@simonp6339]

Just a hint, be sure you're paying taxes correctly. I'm not sure if you have the same system in Portugal where Portuguese brokers do the taxes for you, but Interactive Brokers definitely doesn't, and if it's anything like Germany or Austria, ETF taxes aren't that easy.

Hi Angelo, I was wondering if you had some time to answer the following question: Why do you only keep a small part of your portfolio into P2P lending?

Keeping in mind the average growth of ETF's, P2P comes close or is even equal? Thank you

P2P Lending is NOT low risk. You'll never get >10% returns p.a. without taking on significant risk. You can find out a bit more here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaGvaJSVZ6mhfqc They're also less tax-efficient compared to ETFs, since the entire return is made up of interest earnings, which always have to be taxed in full that same year vs. having returns compound in ETFs until you sell.

Hello from Spain! Thank you for another great video! As a European with limited public safety nets relative to US peers, how do you think about broker safety? Is it worth diversifying across several brokers?

Thanks for sharing your point of view! Nothing wrong with your approach either - I agree that ETH is probably the riskier one among the two, we'll see if my 50:50 split pays off or not.

I agree, Bitcoin is the only truly decentralized cryptocurrency. Ethereum is just a fancy database under central control (foundation, those with the highest stakes, etc), you don't need the blockchain for a centralized database. The only reason Ethereum is worth something for a while is because it's used for shitcoins (which will be worth nothing in the longterm) and fast transactions, but for fast transactions, Bitcoin now has the Lightning network. But that's a decision everyone has to make for themselves. In the short term, Ethereum might remain popular.

Hi Angelo, I'm a huge fan of your videos and they've inspired me to begin investing using interactive brokers. I have one question: aren't you afraid to hold that much money on interactive brokers? I am just starting to invest, but thinking of holding over 100k euros on a online broker seems kinda unsafe? Or am I wrong? :D

[@pjfscoelho]

Protection is only for the money in the account. The money invested does not count. But if the broker goes bankrupt, your shares will be transferred to another broker of your choice because the shares are your property.

Dude, you‘re way underperformed! Sp500 ytd is close to 25%, nasdaq is 44%, if you’re not getting at least 25%, you chose a wrong etf.

[@AngeloColomboFi]

If you're only comparing yourself to one country then sure, but since I value diversification and not putting all eggs in one (country) basket, I didn't underperform. I got exactly what the global stock market returned in 2023. In €, the S&P 500 is about 4% ahead of the FTSE All-World in 2023 (22 vs. 18%), so what? Last year the S&P 500 was down slightly more as well in comparison.

[@pierrechang55]

@@AngeloColomboFi it‘s more like 5% difference (if you compared vanguard to vanguard etf), which is alot in compounding accumulation world (in 10 years the compounding diff. Would be closed to 100%). 2022, they both lost around 13%. So it’s similar bad performance in down market. 55%+ of Ftse all world is basically sp500 anyway. So it has huge exposure and also risk of sp500. In the last decades since ww2, sp500 is the leading index. So why don‘t chose the clear winner. Btw, companies listed in sp500 mostly operate globally and leading their industries worldwide.

[@AngeloColomboFi]

To each their own, I prefer a different, globally diversified approach. You should keep doing whatever you think is best :)

[@marthasteward0]

I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.

oh you and the capital of Sri Lanka has the same name lol

[@AngeloColomboFi]

Yeah I know, we definitely have to go check it out at some point 😅

[@MrMaaj8]

Do you need to pay a tax on that 4% you get on TradeRepublic? @angelo

[@jangrodowski9388]

Yup, I believe the 4% is pretax, but still one of the best euro savings rates

[@AngeloColomboFi]

Yes, Trade Republic will only take care of taxes for you if you're based in Germany
