Seeking Advice on ETF Allocation and Diversification

I am looking to improve the diversification of my portfolio and considering adding these three ETFs:

$XUCD (+2.06%) XUCD - Xtrackers MSCI USA Consumer Discretionary ETF

$IS3Q IS3Q - iShares Edge MSCI World Quality Factor ETF

$EXW1 (+0.96%) EXW1 - iShares EURO STOXX 50 ETF

I would like your advice on how to allocate my investment among them. Are these good choices, or am I overlapping exposures? Are there better alternatives to consider for further diversification?

Looking forward to your insights. Thanks for your help.

Really check before if it would really makes sense to have this amount of ETFs and what it will do with the weighting of the companies. There are some tools online where you can check this beforehand

and if you have the premium features, you can just add the ETFs you want to invest manually and then use Deep Dive to see the weighting

@ngoog Hey @ngoog, I appreciate your advice! I’m building a 100% equity portfolio because I’m young and investing for the long term. I definitely welcome any suggestions on how to improve my allocation.

I was considering adding these ETFs mainly to increase diversification, but I also asked if there are better alternatives with a similar strategy. I’ll check platforms like JustETF to compare and refine my choices. If you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear them!

@Marnero So if I get you right, you are trying to build your own $VWCE or $IWDA ?

@ngoog Good question! I’m not exactly trying to replicate VWCE or IWDA, but I do want a diversified portfolio with strong exposure to different regions and sectors. Instead of going for a single ETF, I prefer to build my allocation manually by selecting specific ETFs for tech, emerging markets, and consumer sectors. I think this approach gives me more control over my exposure. Do you think this makes sense, or would you suggest sticking to a single global ETF like VWCE?

@Marnero I would use VWCE or IWDA as a base and then you can add with other ETFs. For example the VWCE and IWDA already have a big focus on Tech, so add another tech ETF would not make sense. But for example Europe is underweighted, so you can add an Europe ETF.

@ngoog Thanks for the advice! That makes a lot of sense. I’ll take a closer look at how my allocation is weighted and consider adding an ETF focused on Europe. Appreciate your insights!
