Vanguard S&P 500 ETF

Option 2 allows more control in terms of weighting, so I could reduce the US share from $VWRL (-0.62%) from 62% to 45-50%. In option 2 it would also be possible to swap the S&P 500 for Nasdaq or Amumbo depending on the market cycle to get more performance out of it without the risk of a US overweight.

Tranches or one-off investment?

As the markets have recently recorded a slight decline, I bought a tranche of the S&P 500 ETF ($VUSA (-0.56%)) today.

I am currently considering whether it makes sense to spread my planned investment in 4-5 tranches over several weeks in order to possibly catch the low point.

Alternatively, it might be better to invest the entire amount at once - following the classic approach:

"Time in the Market beats Timing the Market".

How do you see it? Which strategy do you prefer and why?

With the relatively small amounts, it won't make that much of a difference in absolute terms, perhaps in relative terms. I would start with a larger amount and then make regular savings installments. That's how I do it with my primary investment in the S&P500. A larger sum, weekly savings installments (in my case 100 euros) and then occasionally larger additional purchases (if cash is available) when prices fall.
PS: of course you have to invest in the USA and represent its start-up and shareholder focus as a strategy.

New-ish investor here, rate my portfolio

Hi, im a uni student currently in the UK on my final year. Technically I had started investing on December 2022 but back then it’s more trying to play around and see what happens. And because trading 212 has 0 commission fees or holding fees I just thought to throw 10 pounds in a bunch of companies that I think would do well and let things happen. However recently I have decided to go all in, seeing the recent dip in $VUSA (-0.56%) as the perfect entry point to dump most of my money into.

while I do have stable income (~450/month) it goes down after term time, however as I am pretty frugal I managed to gather enough money so my portfolio is not just scraps and pieces. Here’s the break down of my portfolio:

ETF: mostly my savings account that’s better but inaccessible on weekends, $VFEG (-0.12%) is there so if S&P shits the fan while I’m not looking I won’t lose everything, and if I am then that’s where the money is going at least temporarily. I am currently putting in at least 50 pounds into it per month.

Stocks: mostly a sandbox where I try out different things, hopefully majority of them are well informed. Though I will mention currently my stock portfolio is absolutely carried by $RHM (-3.08%)
$BA. (-1.45%) and $RR. (-3.34%) . Having bought them back in 2022. though not all decisions I make are winners for example selling $NVDA (-1.58%) and $AMD (-0.87%) on early 2023 fearing that AI is a bubble. You can’t win them all I suppose

in the future I’m looking for leveraged on S&P for example $3USL (-0.14%) but I will be putting in stop orders and/or keeping an eye on it actively. And of course to get a better job :P

please if you have comments about the portfolio feel free to do so

I don't give advice but I believe in 1-3 year European defense stocks.

Good luck

If a stock decline -50% and after 1 year it goes +60% up. Do we have +10% or -20% ;)

I think it should be like this example:
100 - 50% = 50%
50% + 60% = 80%

Stoxx 600 vs. S&P 500 2025

ECB - interest rate cut by 25 basis points to 2.5 %. "Monetary policy is becoming noticeably less restrictive." - Lagarde.

BoE - Interest rates are expected to fall by a further 75 basis points to 3.5 % by the end of the year.

Fed - Rate cuts are uncertain as rate chaos looms over the US economy. There may be no cuts this year.

Will European equities outperform US equities overall this year? They have been doing so since the beginning of the year. That would be a remarkable performance.

Trump's tariff policy and the consequences for the markets

Major stock indices fell sharply as investors reacted to President Trump's shifting tariff policies. When asked if his tariffs were the reason, Trump instead blamed "globalist" countries and companies and implied that they opposed his nationalistic measures. He used the term broadly without specifying its meaning. Critics pointed out that "globalist" is associated with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. The White House offered no further explanation. Meanwhile, Trump granted temporary tariff exemptions on some Canadian and Mexican goods, but denied doing so in response to market declines.

What do you think about the recent market decline $VWCE (-0.63%)
$VUSA (-0.56%) ? Comment below.

Pounce now or Hold off?

I am have some cash to spend (2.2K and 3K remaining savings which I am willing to spend might the market really crash). And are willing to scoop up three ETF's: $VUSA (-0.56%)
$VWRL (-0.62%) and $VHYL (+0.16%) .

I am just feeling a bit anxious to buy now. That is an indicator to buy now, as the whole market is anxious, but I feel like we can and probably will go a lot lower this year. So I am not sure to buy now, buy in tranches or wait for a bigger dip, but missing out on possible returns and dividends.

Adding to it, I was wondering on what you guys would suggest for allocation. I was thinking about $VHYL (+0.16%) (40%) and $VWRL (-0.62%)
$VUSA (-0.56%) (both 30%), what do you guys think?

i would never invest all at once when the market is dropping because you dont know how far it will drop. I would DCA my investments and when you are lucky one of them will catch the exact bottom. If not it is also not the end of the world :)
