2021年11月19日 · 20% VXUS seems like enough to get a diversification benefit. I know many advocate for something like global market weight but having been so disappointed in foreign stocks this past decade of holding them, it’s hard to want to hold more than the bare recommendation minimum.

VT is the total world market. 99% similar portfolio is 60% vti/ 40% vxus. But if america lags behind the rest of the world in a given year, you’d need to rebalance to say 55% vti/45% vxus to approximate total world market. Not a huge deal IMO, but in the long run it’s good to rebalance in case things drastically.

VT all day. VTI/VXUS isn't worth the effort IMO, assuming you're ok with the market cap weighted index. Tax credit and expense ratio differences are negligible IMO. Tax loss harvesting isn't worth it, because it isn't a goal, but rather a means to an end IMO. And it removes any chance of you second guessing your past self. "Why did I choose 70/30?

2021年4月4日 · If VXUS is in an IRA, you'll get the net dividends distributed after tax. If it's in taxable, you get your share of those taxes reported on your 1099-DIV, and you can claim a credit for them. Suppose the fund accrued $10 of income and paid $4 in taxes per share.

For total international, VXUS is just the best product available in the US market. It has excellent and very complete coverage of both developed and emerging markets. IXUS is probably the only other option which would be close, but it doesn't hold quite as many stocks and has a tiny bit higher expense ratio.

As for your question, there aren't many alternatives to vxus because it contains developed and emerging markets. You can of course buy two different ETFs (1 developed markets & 1 emerging market). This way, there are tons of options.

2022年9月17日 · This is why no vxus for me. America may not be the best country for the average in some ways. But if you are an exceptional entrepreneur, you bet it is the best country on earth in that regard, and has been for a long time, and it’s not even close to being tapped out.

2022年8月31日 · In 2021, 5.94% of dividends received could be claimed as a foreign tax credit (see VXUS, column 3). That same year, the VXUS dividend yield was 3.30% (source: Google). So for every $1000 you would otherwise invest in VT You would invest ~$600 in VTI and ~$400 in VXUS VXUS would pay ~$13.20 in dividends

2021年5月11日 · Over the long term emerging markets have done slightly better than the developed markets, which is why VXUS has had a slight edge over VEA in the past. The situation is very similar to the SP500 vs total US market discussion, where I prefer VTI over VOO because the total market VTI has more diversification and some exposure to US small caps ...

2022年2月10日 · Was originally going VTI and VXUS until I realised you can only get UCITS compliant ETFs in the UK. 60% VTI, 30% VXUS, 10% other was my original plan. I've heard VWRL is a good replacement, would it be logical to put 90% into that instead?
