Hello everyone, what do you think of the Gerd Kommer ETF? Would you invest in it? Do you think the TER of 0.5% is too high? And are there alternative ETFs that are so globally diversified and have such a balanced weighting?

If the investment concept behind it appealed to me, then I would save for it 👍

So a TER of 0.5% is one of the more expensive ETFs. Especially when you look at your portfolio, there are definitely cheaper and better ones. If it's more of a small building block because you like the concept, then you can do it.

I have it in my savings plan as a small addition. I find the idea and the concept interesting and I use it to cover areas that I wouldn't otherwise have. I think the return in the first year was also better than expected (by Kommer himself). What I liked recently was that $GERD always reacted a little more calmly when things got turbulent and other prices went crazy (up and down).
The TER is high, yes. It is simply the result of permanent rebalancing.

If you understand the concept of ETFs, understand the "pain" factor investing can cause - because collecting the factor premiums means staying cool during lean periods and accepting the short-term underperformance - and appreciate the benefits of broad diversification. Then yes. Then this ETF is the egg-laying wool-milk sow and a TER of 0.5% is more than fair.

0.5 TER would be too much for me, so I would not save for it

If you are a fan and trust him, you can do that. There's nothing wrong with it and the TER doesn't matter. But there's also nothing that necessarily speaks in favor of it, so you can leave it alone.
