Reduce US share

Dear Community,

Following the events of the last few weeks, I have decided to reduce my US holdings and diversify my ETF portfolio more broadly.

I am currently investing in the $CSPX (-0,18 %) and the $AVWS (-0,25 %) as an admixture. I no longer hold any individual shares.

I also have a savings plan in place $BTC (-0,06 %) and some play money in crypto.

I would like to bring the US share to around the level of a world etf (70.%), so I'm wondering what the smartest approach is.

Option 1: Sell $CSPX (-0,18 %) and buying a world etf like $VWCE (-0,19 %) or $AVWC (+0,18 %)

When selling my s&p etf, taxes would of course be due (currently 25% return). I live in Austria if this is relevant.

Option 2: keep the s&p and buy 1-2 etf in addition e.g. $MEUD (-0,14 %) and $XNKY (+0,4 %) and save. Here I could of course plan the weighting individually, but it is also a bit more time-consuming in terms of rebalancing.

I would appreciate a few opinions, thank you!

Your portfolio is not yet so large that you need to start thinking about ETF sales and rebalancing. That's more for the endgame, if at all. If you want to reduce the US share, then simply stop any savings plans on the SP500 and start building up the Stoxx 600 etc. Then the ratio will change all by itself. Then the ratio will change all by itself.
P.S.: Don't think too complicated, especially in the initial phase. Investing is not rocket science, just do it ;)

Thank you very much for your answers. I will choose option 2 and possibly add gold.

If you also sell your S&P500 now, you will pay taxes on the previous return. Then it could be completely in ar... . So I would hold, or sell and hold cash for the time being until things have calmed down a bit.
