JohannBeckham Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Since I live in Australia, here are the 3 funds I buy: 1. Vanguard Australian Shares Index Fund (ticket code: VAS) - 30% of the total portfolio2. Vanguard All-World ex-US Shares Index ETF (ticker code: VEU) - 40% of the total portfolio3. Vanguard US Total Market Shares Index ETF (VTS) - 30% of the total portfolio Pero siguro kung nasa Pinas ako, I would probably buy just one fund which is:1. First Metro Philippine Equity Exchange Traded Fund (ticker code FMETF) - 100% solid! But I sold all my shares sa Pinas and use it nung nagbakasyon ako dyan. I really love that ETF kasi may exposure na agad ako sa malalaking kumpaya sa Pinas like Jollibee, Ayala, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment

MRROUGHSEX Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Based on the new inputs, my data model has not seen something like what is happening now and hence could not say what to do now -- buy or sell. Because of this, I think it makes sense to have some cash if you are fully invested. If you already have too much cash, the opposite is true also, invest some to take advantage of discounted prices.

MRROUGHSEX Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Sir, an you help me get started like point out to me a good read up on getting started? Thank you so much!Research the top performing mutual funds where you are based at. Save until you meet the minimum initial investment amount to the mutual fund of your choice then go for it. I want to select a mutual fund comprised of blue-chips or established companies. It's low return but low risk. Based on what you can afford, add regularly (say per month) to the balance by buying the same fund or a another fund of your choice. Keep it simple to just 2 funds in the beginning until you become more a savvy investor. The advantage of mutual funds is they are already diversified (meaning different stocks). That is why I like it much more than buying stocks. Don't despair if the price (or value) of your mutual fund goes down.. eventually it will go back up. Mutual funds are more for investors (vs stocks are more for traders) so enjoy the ride -- both down and up. Keep to the strategy of buying regularly so that even if the Dow Jones is going down (just like this year so far), you think of that as a good thing because you can buy them at a discount.
