an financial advisor going full index etfs, this goes full circle
LOVE the new portfolio! So clean and elegant! 🙌Thanks brother for sharing and documenting your investment journey over all these years. It's been a privilege to follow along 😊
Aye, it's Canadian in a T Shirt!
If somebody is using wealth simple and investing in TFSA account right now not in RRSP then VFV is a better option definitely as you can’t do Norbert's Gambit on wealth simple and you don’t have to worry about withholding tax
I divested all my individual stocks over a year ago now. I got tired of balancing my portfolio while watching my separate workplace account in funds outperform overall. My RRSP holds ITA (+25%) VDY (+10%) VFV (+32%) VGRO (+16%) and my Wealthsimple managed ETF TFSA is up +35%. Freed up time, and the rewards have been great, so probably the smartest decision I've made.
Can I ask what your weightings of each ETFs are?
I started my investing journey watching your videos and followed closely along since the start of the pandemic. i sold off majority of my individual holdings early this year and switched to XEQT. The main driving factor was simplicity and automation stemming from my growing family. That was more valuable to me. Definitely feels great to know you have done the same for similar reasons. All the best!
All in on XEQT as well, less stressful
Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear that :) following in your footsteps
XEQT has too much Canadian. Our market isn’t that great. I definitely prefer VXC
@@phykios I respect that🙏
@@phykiosI do VXC in my RRSP AND VCN in my TFSA
95% XEQT 5% VFV and fun stocks here. +24% simple return so far
The dividend on voo is like 1.2%. Therefore the 15% is like 0.2% per year. If you need to convert the money to Canadian Wealthsimple is going to charge you like 2.5% it made more sense to convert to Canadian using Norbert’s gambit while it was with TD
"I've owned individual stocks for nearly 20 years" translation for hey I underperformed the market for 20 years, now I have joined the index fund.
Aside from that, I don't understand why people choose VOO and ZEQT (or VEQT or something similar). They overlap and therefore redundant. Just own entire world index fund (VT), or just the S&P500 (VFV or VOO).
People change strategies as the grow. He can do whatever he wants with his money.
@@fedvvvv For sure you can do whatever with your money. I am pointing out the inefficiency of overlapping funds.
Curious why did you switch to Wealthsimple from Questrade. Buying ETF is free plus norbert's gambit on QT🤔
No ECN fees, dividend reinvestment and fractional shares are nice on WS that QS just doesn’t have. IMO Wealthsimple for Canadian domiciled ETFs and QS for single stocks/US stocks
Also wondering this
The 1.5% premium WS charge on roughly $50k USD exchange is about $750. Also wondering why went from QT to WS....
@@conroy119transferred USD to USD so I’m pretty sure he avoided that
so far i think he is just transferring his old holdings into etf and most of them were already usd stocks. with 100k in his account, he gets the free usd account from ws meaning he doesnt need to pay the exchange fee. as for new deposit, i remember he mentioned in an old video that he doesnt do norberts gambit so he probably had to pay exchange fee in qt anyway.
Woohoo! I've been waiting for this video since I saw your portfolio update on Blossom!! 😄 You are glowing, it truly reflects how happy you are with this decision so I am very happy for ya! 💯 Sometimes, simplicity is the best policy.
Love the simplicity of the portfolio 😊
Good video, with great and helpful content
I just started investing, and ur vids are a big help! I hope you’ll make another video on ur TFSA wealthsimple portfolio, it’s what I started opening to start. Thank u!
Here is why index investing makes sense in my opinion. Brandon even said his days were researching stocks. If you look at his picks many have been losers lately. The market has a huge emotional component and research captures only logic. The emotional component is getting larger with time. You can’t predict when the emotion shifts for no reason on an individual stock very well because it can be as simple as the wording of something in a press conference. Generally money doesn’t flow out of the market. When one stock gets sold for no real reason other than emotion the money flows into something else that is likely also in the index. So the index isn’t affected nearly as much by emotion and therefore you are less susceptible to illogical shifts in sentiment which are unpredictable but still capture most of the upside because when the a big stock goes up often a rising tide lifts all ships
Good analisys.
Great choices! VOO and ZEQT offer broad diversification and low fees
VOO is a fantastic core holding.
Just subscribed! Thanks for sharing your portfolio ideas.
Can you clarify if WHT applies to non-registered accounts holding US ETFs?
To be clear, I want to buy US ETFs in my non-registered (non-RRSP, non-TFSA) account.
DO I still get taxed the 15% withholding tax on dividends?
Why not go with a S&P 500 with a high monthly dividend like USCL or HYLD you get growth along with dividends ?
In my opinion, these funds are targeting towards investors prioritizing high monthly income! Not a goal on mine currently!
Great question.
i have tremendous respect for you and your Dad and i think is a very important change that goes with life
Isn’t ZEQT overlapping VOO coz ZSP tracks the S&P 500 index too. Trying to understand why didn’t u keep it simple by investing in VOO, ZCN and international markets like emxc/xef.
How did you convert your CAD to USD with wealth simple?
looks like has the us account which you pay wealth simple 10 a month for
@@Dakotapeacexofree if you are a premium member
It's free if you have a net deposit over 100k
@@frklnchgso is it same as Norbet gambit for exchange rates if you have WS USD account?
When you purchase USD stocks, it automatically converts it and if you have the USD Account, the stocks are placed in that account then so if you sell, the USD stays there and not converted back to CAD. Also, if you have a USD account at a Canadian bank, I believe you can now transfer USD in, however it cannot be from a US Bank Account.
I’m on the same path as you! Looking to divest and move over to Broad index for peace of mind
Why not play the house and just buy the total market: VUN, VCN and XAW?
There is a much simpler solution than that. If you want total market index fund, go with VT. Lower management fee than all the above as well.
@@barryallen6927 it’s a good alternative but it is traded on the NYSE Arca, only has 2.7% exposure to Canada and it is not available to Canadians on the TSX
The overlap was the first thing I noticed, but you're right about it actually being an "ok" thing - seeing as that's where most of the action is anyway. Thanks for sharing!
Mine is 5% AVUV (RRSP), 35% VCN (non registered), everything else is ITOT(in RRSP), XUU (in all other accounts). Rebalancing is great with stock events app!
Are you sponsored by ZEQT?
ZEQT is just the fund which happens to be from one of our partners BMO, we also work with Harvest, Hamilton, Global X and many others!!
What do you have in you TFSA?
I’ve got a hunch you’ll add more to your portfolio. I started with VOO as well but then started to add ETFs that serve different purposes - VCN, VXUS, SCHD, VUG. I’m just willing to guess you’ll find fun doing the same eventually ;)
Great video. Nice portfolio. Why not consider leveraged Nasdaq small position?
Congratulations! Im very glad I did this move 3 years ago. Im going very well 🚀
ibkr
I think you made a great choice!
Interesting video. I also own VOO and avoided the overlap by buying iShares XFH which has 1500 stocks from Europe, Asia, and Australia. It's also CAD hedged.
New to investing. Getting in late in the game… Is buying US ETF’s a good idea? Are they ETFs that have the Nvidia’s, Amazon’s and Coca Cola’s available on the TSX? Maybe a future video on the pros/cons and explaining that scenario for the beginners.
🎉Thank you, different stages, different phases🎉
Great video! I’m a new investor and I find your content so helpful. I also joined Blossom last week, I’ve been on it non stop, thank you!
Nice to watch how you’ve evolved in your strategies looking forward to watching more.
Good stuff Brandon, love get updates inboxed from your dad.
Keep up the good work and keep it coming
I have the same strategy except I want to hold 10% VDY and %10 QQC or TEC. Its crazy how easy this is and how little people do it.....
I would like to know the US to Canadian conversion fees that are charged when having a Wealth Simple account? I wanted to switch from my TD Webroker US account to Wealth Simple account for trading US stocks but it was costly when doing stock purchases or sells. Unless things have changed recently Wealth Simple was not worth it for US accounts. What am I missing. Currently I change all my Canadian dollars to US dollars with Norberts Gambit as I hold a US account within TD.
Hi Brandon, have you considered VUG or SPMO etfs. It seems like they beats the sp500 etf index by a bit
Even if you have VOO in a non-registered account, it may be a better choice than VFV because VOO has a lower expense ratio and a higher yield.
is it good or bad idea if I buy VOO & XEQT in my RESP account?
great video. i love the change. great choices. keep up the good work Brandon!
what about your TSFA
I use wealthsimple premium and the service has managed my portfolios (TFSA, FHSA, and RRSP) well, but at this this juncture the MER is costing me $900+ / year and I'd like to keep that money because I know one of the best investment strategies is to keep investment costs as low as possible.
My TFSA, FHSA, and RRSP are all level 10 risk growth portfolio, and I also have 30k in private equity within TFSA
I want to move away from a managed portfolio to an unmanaged portfolio and plan to purchase 1-2 ETFs per account to avoid paying the MER fee while still taking a passive approach with my investments - a strategy that I've been using effectively with the managed portfolios but with the downfall of the fee.
Do you have any videos that can walk you through the process of going from managed to unmanaged? And how to monitor the account?
Hello, bro, my money is in USD bank. But I don't have a usd account with Wealth Simple. I took it out of the bank, converted it, returned it to the bank, brought it back to Wealth Simple, converted it to dollars again through the broker and am buying USA stock. So what do you advise me. I am a new beginner
make a video about the switch from quest to wealth simple?
I love your show!!
Wondering why you are moving from Questrade to Wealthsimple for US ETF investing considering WS fees and WS can't do Norbert Gambit ...
Why the switch to WS buddy?
We each have to muster the courage to change and adapt when the time comes, good for you ! The ETF itself seems great, but I am put off buy the low AUM and daily volume, should you need to make another change down the road. XEQT & VEQT offer better opportunities slightly better purchase price IMO. Thanks and take care
Thank you so much for sharing your insights 👍
what's the best way for us Canadians to buy VOO with as little currency conversion fees as possible?
Norbert’s gambit on Questrade
Question: if i have to put 50k into vfv or voo..... isn't it just better to have more share in vfv? Overtime get more values even if I have to pay 15% tax with vfv. Why would i go voo with less share for same amounts of money
Look up the mer fees of vfv and voo.
Hey Brandon, I've been following you for some period now. Watching you talk about investing has shifted my mindset completely. I want to become an investor but I'm absolute beginner. Suppose I want to start investing journey with these two ETF VFV and ZCN for long term purpose, how do i do it exactly? I mean do i need to set a recurring payment monthly or yearly or it's just one-time investment?? Sorry if my question sounds childish or meaningless but I'm just curious to know more. I hope you'll help me:)
Obviously,I’m not Brandon,but I can tell you that you first set up a wealth simple account,if you’re Canadian. Link it to your bank account,and buy (vfv) for example. You then just add money to your trading account as you see fit and buy vfv (if that’s what you like) as your funds allow. It’s quite an easy process. I’m kinda old and I managed to figure it out,you’ll do just fine!👍
i felt the same way when i made the switch!
What about currency conversion ?
I'm confused by VOO vs VFV. VFV has the minor wht discussed in the video and a slightly higher fee. How come the returns have been better? It seems that even if you adjust for currency exchange, the Canadian fund has still slightly outperformed. What am i missing?
i guess part of it is because cad value has been dropping. when that happens, the vfv gain is the combine of voo gain + currency conversion gain. (didn't do the calculation to verify whether the number matches).
Yeah that was my thought too, but the discrepancy seems greater than just the currency difference.
Why are you switching to WS?
Free trades
They pay him
Do you hold any individual stock anymore
Would you be interested in doing a video about ESG ETF please? I have a hard time finding proper information about that topic. Thank you :)
I like ZID personnally Indian ETF with ESG selection (from BMO)
Yeah we know how his Algonquin investing went
Brandon did you talk this over with your father to get his opinion on your decision. I know your a very capable investor and no insult intended. Just a question as I myself are certainly researching more positive direction. I own VOO stock but not the Canadian one because of the tax but I am not at the amount you are. Thanks.
You are awesome, thank you!!
Great strategy Brandon ! Are you planning on switching your TFSA as well to ETF?
Yes!! That’s the plan 🙏🏼😀
Interested on the tax implications for doing the big switch
There is no tax implications! Because I transferred the account directly there would be no tax consequences 👍🏼
keep up the great work!
Great choice Brandon!
Wondering, How come I dont see any trade of you when you sold all your investments before making this new portfolio? Or rather you have it hidden in another brokerage which is not linked here!
I remember you started blossom for transparency and not for showing us something which is sponsored.
BMO affiliated much?
when do you pay income tax on an etf?
I agree with you, I'm doing similar, but I have my shares with VFV since my portfolio is under 100K there are bigger fees in buying USD stocks with wealth simple. Once I hit 100K and get a complimentary USD account then the fees will be gone :) Thanks for the video and transparency on everything your doing.. A+
Aren't you worried about potential market crash (i.e, S&P500)coming up once Fed lowers the rates?
Hey im 18 and i dont know much but i heard index funds are good and i wanna invest for retirement so if anybody has any tips lmk thanks
Is your NB t-shirt from Costco?
If you ever want to convert that voo to Canadian funds Wealthsimple does not support Norbert’s gambit
First comment ever on Beavis Wealth 🎉
Nice video
I was not surprised to see an all equity ETF in there ;-)
I went with vfv zqq ans schd
I did the same but instead of the S&P I went all into Tesla
Welcome to the dark side. The index always wins in the end. I’m 53 I started with mutual funds in the late 80s,90s then bought individual stocks in the 2k times,then just realized my younger self was right, index investing (not in mutual funds but etfs) is the winner. Never look back. Picking stocks is a losers game.
Hi Brandon! I need your help. The TD BANK OFFER ME TO INVEST WITH THEM. They invest for me and pay to me %? Or I invest US WITH QUESTRATE ?
He is an emotional investor. In comparison to his dad. He was biased with most of the stock especially Alibaba.
Hi bmo etf has allocation in 7 etf , so you have to pay so much in mer
Brandon, met you at the blossom event in Vancouver
Anyhow
How do you hold VOO in wealth simple I thought they only allowed Canadian listed funds?
You’re mistaken.
@@derekcox6531 okay cool. But how do you convert cdn to usd in wealth simple?
No QQQ? Fail.
Hi Brandon! Your video sounds like a farewell.
For almost 20 years??? Dude, you look 22. What do you eat lol
LIKE #490 just for the algo!
How are you old enough to own stocks for 20 years haha
Regular viewers of the channel will have heard my story countless times...... My first investments were when I was 10. MCD and KO.
@@beaviswealth haha awesome
Big mistake here
For some reason I found this video confusing
You’re young enough to be much more aggressive. Get XQQ in there!
First!
First of your first
Sell Sell Sell
XEQT is better...VT is better than VOO...come on broooo
VT is different than Voo. Not comparable. International vs US only.
XEQT. Period
Great choices! VOO and ZEQT offer broad diversification and low fees
