I initially wanted my portfolio to be 60% VTI and 30% VEU for long term hold. I combed through a lot of sources to find alternatives that are Ireland domiciled to replicate this. Turns out, there really won't be an exact match!
I want the ETFs to be accumulating and read that it is/might be better to purchase ETFS from the same index provider. But the suggested combinations I found to replicate my initial portfolio all seem to be a mix of different index providers:
- VWRA (or VWRP) + R2SC, TER 0.52
- IWDA + R2SC, TER 0.5
- VWRA (or VWRP) + WSML, TER 0.57
- IWDA + WSML, TER 0.55
- VWRA (or VWRP) + CSPX, TER 0.29
- SWRD + EIMI + CSPX, TER 0.37
- IWDA + EIMI + CSPX, TER 0.45
- I'm still incredibly new to this and learning. Beyond going for the lowest TER, I'm uncertain which combination is the closest match to my initial 60% VTI and 30% VEU combo. Would anyone be able to chime in on this please?
- For now I have no idea which part of the country I'll end up living, so it's difficult to determine which currency would be more convenient for me. If I move to US or UK, my setup will likely change. Until then, is it best that my portfolio have ETFs denominated in GBP and USD e.g. I should get VWRA and VWRP? Even though their underlying assets are the same...
Thanks so much in advance!
