Considering a tilt toward US/growth/tech?

The year is 2024 and a lot of investors are asking about US large, tech and growth stocks, a performance-chasing approach following a familiar pattern: people gravitate to what is popular. Alas, winners rotate. So, here goes:

Start by reading about three-fund portfolios, consider the diversification benefits of ex-US holdings, and for a simple graphical demonstration of rotating winners, check out this chart. The bottom line is this: global equity investments increase diversification and as of the time of this sidebar update, international stocks are relatively inexpensive compared to US ones.

Be extremely wary of buying high, which can lead to selling low. If you're at a loss for where to begin, start with a Target Date fund and learn the basics of investing before you start tilting away from a broadly diversified global portfolio.

We've all been where you are - the appeal of recent outperformers is extremely tempting. But if you had invested in the best performing markets and sectors during the 2000s, you'd have had a rough time during the 2010s. No one knows what the future holds, but avoid learning the hard way by diversifying. Good luck.

Considering Edward Jones? Read this

Not enough retirement account space? Consider Series I and EE Bonds


While both active and passive strategies of various durations are open for discussion, the primary purposes here is to help in the creation of intermediate-to-retirement allocations, largely hands-off approaches suited to the majority of investors (who have lives outside of finance!).

Above all, remember: we all had to start somewhere, so don't worry about asking stupid questions! Lastly: no blogspam (including actual blogs but also other forms of self-promotion).

Small Cap Value Tilt

Hi all, need final advice on my portfolio, preferable if my small cap value tilt is too overweight comparatively to other portfolios with the same intended tilt. Additionally, I would like to have a portfolio where I can "leave alone" (aside from semi-annual rebalance) and was more or less curious if there are any funds that I should look alternatively to if so, more specifically for fixed income. On the topic of fixed income, I will increasing it's weight % by 1% from ages 30-40 (currently 23), and would like to hear if thats an appropriate strategy to gradually move to fixed income? Thanks in advance to those that respond, and my portfolio details are below:

Fixed Income - 10%

BND - Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (10%)

Equities - 90%

Domestic Equities 

  • AVUV - Avantis US Small Cap Value ETF (12%)

  • VTI - Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (49%)

International Equities 

  • AVDV - Avantis Int'l Small Cap Value ETF (4%)

  • DFIV - DFA International Value ETF (16%)

  • AVEM - Avantis Emerging Markets Equity ETF (9%)

My second attempt on taxable portfolio

Hello. A few days back I posted my old portfolio here, and made a few adjustments. Is it still too complicated? I would like to have your thoughts/recommendations on my revised portfolio. I am a 20 year old from EU, who plans to invest in this portfolio for at least 10-20 years.

Portfolio structure: 5% bond ETF; 35% S&P 500 ETF; 40% All world (MSCI ACWI) ETF; 10% USA Small cap value ETF; 10% Healthcare ETF.

Bond ETF: Amundi Prime Euro Government Bonds 0-1Y UCITS ETF DR (C).

All world (MSCI ACWI) ETF: iShares MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF USD (Acc).

S&P 500 ETF: Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating.

Healthcare ETF: Xtrackers MSCI World Health Care UCITS ETF 1C.

USA Small Cap value ETF: SPDR MSCI USA Small Cap Value Weighted UCITS ETF.

P.S. I am aware that this is a high risk portfolio, and I want to maximize my growth, since i have a lot of time. This is a taxable account.

P.S.S. I have opened an investment account, which in my country means, that I have to pay the tax only when I when I withdraw more than I have deposited. Any kind of re balancing would not trigger a tax event. The broker I use is commission free for now.

Thank you in advance!

Best portfolio tracking platform

I'm using Yahoo Finance to track my portfolio performance. It often makes up unreal numbers, like my all-time total-gain is +46.000 HUF, but it only shows +7500 HUF currently. It should be the same as I just started investing on october 20 last month.

What platforms are you using? Sorrily my brokers platform is not that detailed.

Also Yahoo Finance gives different values on the mobile app and the web browser.

Does it make sense to be this specific? ETF and GEO diversified - rebalancing each 6mo

Need to open a new portfolio for lifelong savings (family-wide). Ideally entering with a DCA - with this being the target structure to reach at the end of each 6 month period.

This is the Stocks-only portfolio.

ASKING FOR ADVICE:

  • Is it too redundant in tech stocks?
  • Does it make sense to go in such details or should I go for an ETF that would have basically the same structure? (don't know of any)
  • What profile do you deduce from the percentages I put on each category?
  • General tips and advices

Roast my portfolio - roast it BIG TIME

seriously considering converting to mostly cash

First post here. Be kind. We are a younger retired couple with self-managed IRA's - around $850k invested mostly in index ETF's. I've managed to make some nice (amateur) stock trades over the last 10 yrs but shifted to long term, mostly SPHQ, IVOG, VIOG & VOOG. We also have healthy chunks of COST & BRK/B. I've not been able to get a comfortable understanding of bond investing at all. We are really cautious of a big market downturn over the next 4 yrs. Seeing Buffett selloff has me seriously considering converting to mostly cash before January in case that happens. Is this an overly cautious move?

Looking for Advice Stocks or ETF

I was hoping to get some advice from this community. I have been dabbling in stocks for about 3 years now using M1 finance. I had a 401k from a previous job that I moved into M1 and decided to do my own research on companies and try my hand at investing myself before going to an ETF or target date fund.

I started this M1 back in April 2020 and it seems to be doing well but I really have nothing to base "well" off of so maybe its just doing ok and not as well as I may think.

I started the account with 22K (April 2020) and now at hovering between 37-39k from week to week.

My 1Y percentage is 37%
My YTD percentage is 22%
My All Time percentage is 61%

My portfolio is about 35% invested in Tech and Finance sectors, while consumer is about 20% and health care is about 10% of the portfolio.

All my stocks are in Dividend stocks with returns reinvested back into the account. Ive earned about $2,500 since inception and I dont add anything to this account monthly since I also contribute to my pension and 457B.

If you need an image or list of my 15 stocks I can post them here if you wanted to see.

My question is, would it be better for me to just continue down this path im on now or maybe move into a 2 or 3 ETF approach?

If you could maybe let me know your thoughts or suggestions

Thanks

Help! I just got off from my job. Do I have to pay any state or federal taxes/withholdings if I make an early distribution from my traditional Ira to cover financial hardship?

If it helps to know, I only have a small amount (like $3500) in my traditional Ira, but I just experience a job layoff and I'm still unemployed/in between jobs/jobhunting. I need the funds from my Ira until I get a new job/income. Can I make the early distribution without having to pay a 10% federal penalty for early withdrawal due to the reason being emergency/job layoff/financial hardship? If I have to pay state/federal taxes for making an early distribution, what would the percentage would the amount be? I live in California. Thank you for any help/advice! 🙏

6 Fund Portfolio In My Taxable Account - Too Much Overlap?

Feel like I got lost in the sauce - portfolio feedback

I recetly created the following for a long-term, aggressive growth portfolio

  • VOO 40% (Because VOO and chill)

  • HTAB 30% (Bonds and income-producing assets)

  • HFXI 15% (International)

  • VFMO 6% (Mid-caps)

  • ISCG 6% (small-caps)

  • GLD 3% (cash/cash equivalents)

Does this make sense from a ~65/30/5 across stocks, income-producing assets, and cash equivalents?

It's my first time with a sizeable amount of money and I'm worrying that too much into bonds was a bad call with recent FED rate decrease
