As an ETF newbie, I want to start with a savings plan with 300€/month. For this, I will invest to ⅔ the $VWCE (-0,12%) and at ⅓ the $VWCG (-0,04%) savings plan.
My reasoning for this is that due to the $VWCG (-0,04%) the high share of the USA of the $VWCE (-0,12%) and thus get more Europe in.
You can do it that way. There is no such thing as the "right" weighting anyway, and you only ever know what will bring the highest returns afterwards. But don't be blinded by the good European performance of the last 6 months or the extremely strong US market of the last 10 years. Historically, sometimes this market, sometimes that market - in terms of decades - has been ahead. Personally, I would go for a 1-ETF solution, because the regional shares are regularly readjusted according to the market capitalization.
