iShares $ EM Bond ETF (IEMB) Forum & Discussion

What is your opinion on adding bond ETFs as a small anchor in the portfolio?

I personally think that it is currently a good opportunity to include this asset in the portfolio before it becomes too expensive again due to possible interest rate declines in the coming years. What is your opinion? Think here, for example, of $IEMB (+0.8%) . I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the subject! And have a nice Easter ;-)

Bonds should rather represent the low-risk part of the portfolio. To this end, you should only buy "safe" countries with the highest possible rating.
In Europe, you should also only buy bonds in euros to eliminate currency risk.
In my opinion, you should never include bonds such as EM in your portfolio.

Portfolio Feedback

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share my portfolio and get some opinions.

I am pursuing a core satellite strategy. The main anchor should be the FTSE All World and the Global quality income ETF.

Until recently I also held an Emerging Markets ETF which I threw out due to its poor performance.

The BIT Global Internet Leaders, S&P China 500 and Tencent are also to be removed from the portfolio.

Currently the $VWRL (+1.02%) is currently being saved with €1,000 per month and around €500 in individual securities in order to achieve a cost value of around €2,500 per security.

I also save every 3 months for the $RBOT (+0.83%) with €300.

Depending on the available capital, the $FGEQ (+1.14%) or currently the $IEMB (+0.8%) is saved.

The aim is to increase the current approx. 75% in ETFs to 80%.

I am very keen on distributions, as these have a psychological effect and I am not planning to sell the shares in the long term, so I would like to receive higher personal dividend yields in the future with my initial investment.

I look forward to your feedback.

2 questions: why add the ACWI IMI to the All World and not a small cap ETF?
And just out of interest, when the 2500€ in the individual stocks is reached, would you just put the 1500€ into the ETFs and then shift the weighting to the ETFs over the coming years? But what is the point of the individual stocks then?
