I never realised an ETF inside an ETF includes two management fees. Thanks for the video.

[@Nanalyze]

Yeah so you'll need to check and see with the provider if they've waived fees for the underlying but that's not always the case. In fact, I don't believe it's standard practice. Always assume it isn't and then check. It's not so obvious information to find. Joe P.

[@wowzers1069]

Great video, curious why Schwab ETF's are not thrown in with Black Rock & Vanguard.

[@Nanalyze]

It all comes down to fees. If any ETF provider offers low fee ETFs then they ought to be looked at, though it's best to stick with known brand names to reduce risk. We use Schwab so clearly find value in their offering.

[@canadianwildlifeservice8883]

IETC is an iShares active ETF (U.S. Tech Independence Focused ETF). You mentioned avoid active ETFs but the expense ratio in only 0.18% and performs phenomenally well even compared to VGT.

[@Nanalyze]

Always important to state the time frame over which outperformance has been observed. Those are low fees for an active ETF, but that doesn't change the fact that 95% of active managers - over the long term - can't beat a benchmark.

[@canadianwildlifeservice8883]

@@Nanalyze The time frame is important. IETC outperformed both IVW and VGT over the last 5 years. That's why I'll likely choose it in my IRA to replace the ETFs that are charging almost double the expense ratio such as IYW.

I would love to Invest long term in a dividend ETF greater china/ far east ex Japan, like the SCHD, with low fees. A lot of Chinese companies pay a lot of dividends and I believe the market will eventually recover. Any recommendations? Could this be a video?

[@Nanalyze]

So Chinese companies weren't really into dividends but the government started pressuring them to start having more lenient dividend policies. Really it's a matter of talking about investing in China first which is its own animal. (We have a number of videos on this topic.) We don't know of any Chinese dividend champions so that's as far as we looked when putting together our international champions report. This is an obscure niche but an interesting one given my own interests in China. Not sure this would make a good video (probably just not enough interest) but it's on my radar now. Joe P.

[@makeitcold6649]

Hey Joe! I’d love to hear your thoughts on Wisdom Tree’s QGRW. I like the quality metrics but stress if the expense ratio will allow it to outperform SCHG/XLK/QQQM over the next 20+ years

[@Nanalyze]

Looks like "large and mid US growth" for 0.28%. That seems way too high. VUG gives you "large US growth" for 0.04%. Poke around a bit and you can probably find something with equivalent exposure for less fees :)

[@makeitcold6649]

@@Nanalyzeso you don’t think the screening metrics for profitability and growth are worth the expense ratio? Are there other ETFs that filter for similar metrics that are cheaper or is it not worth it and cheapest is best in your opinion?

[@Nanalyze]

@@makeitcold6649 According to research by experts, cheapest is always best. Expect active ETFs to be replaced by cheap smart beta strategies.

[@tdp-prett]

Joe, I'm fairly new to ETFs, but i do need to diversify and was looking to add bonds. Is it a better move to directly buy TIPS? If i go the ETF route, what are your thoughts on BKAG? They're no fee, but all my reading has indicated its because they are latento the game and trying to lure investors.

[@Nanalyze]

Interesting. That could be. We tend to prefer larger ETFs by AUM. BKAG isn't tiny, but they're certainly not large. It may be worth looking into a larger ETF like BND or AGG with a nominal expense ratio as opposed to taking a chance on a smaller fund. Just something to consider. Ultimately it's your call! If you're able to buy individual TIPS, that's also an option, just bear in mind that there may be minimum order sizes, fees, and other considerations.

[@williamfoster7920]

How do you feel about SPYI and QQQI.....? Thanks for your input.

[@Nanalyze]

As you can imagine analyzing any given ETF takes some time. We need to go examine the underlying index to understand the mechanics, and that takes research resources.

I'm looking for a 3-fund portfolio to invest my savings that could pay 3 grand a month in dividends, and be somewhat stable.

[@Nanalyze]

Well the stability part should be covered, at least when compared to a benchmark, because you have fixed income and international equities providing asset class diversification. As for your 3 grand a month target, be wary of chasing yield. If you're following a three-fund approach that won't happen though, provided you stick with the strategy. What you might do is sub out the US stocks ETF with perhaps an SCHD for growing income. We use a Quantigence portfolio ;)

[@vv-cv6ud]

What about thematic etf ?

[@Nanalyze]

Good question. They're generally active, though some have more rigid methodologies for asset selection (GICS for example). They almost always have high expense ratios. We analyze lots of them and they probably need to be taken on a case-by-case basis.

[@Antipodeano]

Cheers, I am a newbie to ETFs, I had been avoiding them. I was just picking my own stocks. But as I build my portfolio out, I am starting to consider them. Your video was very helpful. Thank You!

[@Nanalyze]

That is great to hear. You absolutely should consider ETFs to supplement your overall portfolio of assets.

[@dangerbuoy]

Thanks for this video. Vanguard’s target date retirement funds seem like a good way to go for Roth IRAs but I wish there was a similar style fund that combatted ESG scores (like Strive). Roughly speaking, do you think it’d be wise to continue investing in both-say Roth IRA contributions to the Vanguard retirement and leftover money to a Strive fund? Or is there a smarter investing strategy that emphasizes an ethical mission to move past ESG while still being safe and effective for retirement?

[@Nanalyze]

You're most welcome. Yep, we covered Strive before and their mission is spot on. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5qyqZmejLCIo6c) Hopefully ESG is dying a slow death because investors of all kinds are realizing it was a mess to begin with. It's probably just easier - for right now - to just focus on low fees then set it and forget it. Vanguard is a leader in low cost so you can't go wrong there.

[@sabrinarussell707]

Do you know if there are countries that are excluded from investing in ETFs in the US?

Does Robinhood charge any ETF fees?

[@Nanalyze]

We don't use brokers that push the riskiest products to their clients so we wouldn't know the answer to your question :)

[@viking722nj]

Index investing self-inflates in a bull market and overperforms. I'm not interested in being in that game when we go into a bear market. These funds could self-deflate on the way down and deliver proportionately much higher losses.

[@Nanalyze]

Since 95% of professional investors can't beat an index and charge higher fees for the privilege, the alternatives aren't looking very rosy. Investing in broad market strategies like the three fund approach works. It may sound boring and unfulfilling, but it is anything but.

[@oky9653]

I’m quite disappointed, Joe, that you backpedaled after letting the cat out of the bag. Anyone who follows the most important investing gurus on KZbin is anecdotally aware that rocket ships and diamond hand emojis truly are the ultimate catalyst, especially when applied to stocks that will clearly be “the next NVDA.” Now we have clear and concise evidence to that end. I believe I am now thoroughly equipped to set my latest AI algorithm loose on the market. With those criteria alone, I should be able to buy a Lambo and start a new channel within a few weeks when my 0 DTE strategy moons. Thanks for all the help. I’ll apologize in advance for not following you in the future, but I see a rock and roll life style in my future and generational wealth accumulation that needs to be squandered. I’m wasting time. Gotta get to the car and speed boat dealers. Can anyone with experience in these matters tell me if the unnaturally shapely ladies in bikinis come with the boat or if you have to procure their presence through alternative means?

[@Nanalyze]

This is a completely underrated comment. You have an AI trading algorithm? Which 25-year-old guru did you buy it from because I'm having a hard time deciding which one to buy mine from. There are so many and they all create alpha so easily. There's never been an easier time to become rich. Also it's okay to just say you have a lambo a bit early. This is an effective tool to use when attacking those who criticize your new 0 DTE money printing machine. So speaking from experience, the "unnaturally shapely" ladies in bikinis arrive *shortly after* your expensive goods do. But please be careful. If you lose your wealth - which will never happen because this has never happened in the history of the fintwat space - the "unatural shapes" move in the opposite direction. Due south. Thank you for the comment, and wen lambo #2? Joe P.

We always throw this stat around - 90 to 95% is typically cited. It's bad either way. When asking AI, "According to most investment research, the statement that "only 5% of active managers can beat an index" is generally considered accurate, with studies showing that a very small percentage of actively managed funds consistently outperform their respective market indexes, often cited as being around 5% or less, making it extremely difficult for most active managers to beat the market consistently."
