I would invest half now and DCA the rest over the next few months. I would go VOO, VGT, IDVO, IAU with a break down of 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10%. Give you decent coverage of the markets. The single stocks you want to buy are already large portion of VOO and VGT
If you want to feel some immediate gains without liquidation there are a healthy number of CEFs, BCDs, dividend ETF and if you’re a bit more risk average covered call funds that can provide modest growth and income. This is of course a complement to your core investments that you’ll be compounding. Not investment advice but I’ve been keeping my eye on some of these: MAIN, ADX, TRIN, GPIX, IDVO, SCHD, FDVV and DGRW. This isn’t a portfolio, just a watchlist you can start researching on to see what you like. At least for me, having a portion of my investment payout in dividends allowed me to feel the immediate benefits without the long wait till retirement age.
VOO,SPY,QQQ,SCHD,SPYI,QQQI,IDVO,SGOV,O, and CHPY. 10% in each. Growth with VOO,SPY,QQQ,SCHD and IDVO. Income with some growth with SPYI,QQQI and CHPY(as of now no NAV decay at all.)SGOV bond exposure plus it’s extremely safe and pays monthly. O gives you exposure to real estate. Yes there is some overlap but each one does it a bit differently. Something likes this is my ideal portfolio. If I was still in my 20’s and able to invest.
because some companies are good long term investments? i’m up over 100% with WMT and COST and will probably never sell them. I do hold a large amount of VTI, IDVO and VGT as well.
And how exactly does IDVO achieve this? The ETF is a covered call strategy on international stocks. There’s no evidence that a covered call ETF provides better risk adjusted returns than its normal ETF
Ticker is IDVO, i can't even believe it. Though they do use covered calls to juice it up even more. It's been doing fine since its inception in 2022 though, so maybe this risk off rotation has been brewing for a long time.
IDVO would offer lower volatility compared to VXUS due to option premiums.
From AI **VXUS** and **IDVO** differ significantly in performance, risk, and strategy. * **Recent Performance**: In the year-to-date period (as of May 2024), **IDVO** outperformed **VXUS**, with a **3.60% return** compared to VXUS's **2.53%**. Over longer periods, IDVO has shown strong returns, with a 10-year total return of **8.73%** versus VXUS's **6.11%**, according to one comparison tool. * **Risk and Volatility**: **IDVO** is more volatile, with a rolling one-month volatility of **3.81%**, compared to VXUS’s **2.70%**. IDVO’s maximum drawdown since inception was **-15.46%**, significantly less severe than VXUS’s **-35.97%**, suggesting IDVO may be less risky during downturns despite higher volatility. * **Dividends**: **IDVO** offers a much higher dividend yield (**5.24%** trailing twelve months) than VXUS (**3.10%**), making it more attractive for income-focused investors. * **Strategy and Structure**: **IDVO** is an actively managed ETF by Amplify, focusing on enhanced dividend income and momentum-driven stock selection. It holds only **60 stocks**, with a concentrated focus on developed markets and financials. In contrast, **VXUS** is a passively managed fund tracking the MSCI All Country World ex USA Investable Market Index, holding over **8,000 stocks** across developed and emerging markets, offering broader diversification. * **Costs**: **VXUS** has a significantly lower expense ratio (**0.07%**) compared to IDVO (**0.65%**), which can erode returns over time, especially in long-term investing. * **Correlation**: The two ETFs are highly correlated (**0.89**), meaning they often move in tandem, reducing diversification benefits if held together. In summary, **IDVO has outperformed VXUS in recent years and offers higher dividends**, but at the cost of higher fees, lower diversification, and greater volatility. **VXUS provides broader market exposure at a lower cost**, making it a more traditional, low-cost international equity choice.
Outside of the usual VXUS, I like IDVO, EMEQ, AVIV, AVNM.
IDVO is a very good, overlooked international fund as well. Its returned year to date over 10.5%, pays over 5% dividend yield thats return of capital, you pay no taxes on and its rated 5 stars on Morningstar. Its also less risky than VXUS.
Doesn't IDV seem better than IDVO? Or am I missing something here?
IDVO and AVDV are solid choices
List the expert whom picks early 2025 would had trounced what I purchased in 2025. You mention international... that interesting did you even look at what I purchased? Purchased TM, also picked up a IDVO and DIVO do you know what those are? I even grabbed SBLK sold at +67% so not on the list anymore. Mainly a dividend fellow but Ill of course pick up growth at insane value like I did with Google and a few others during the manufactured panic.
Here I checked for you, and yes my guess was correct. You would of made a little more just staying in QQQ I used April 2025 when you said you diversified. [https://totalrealreturns.com/n/VXUS,QQQ?start=2025-04-15](https://totalrealreturns.com/n/VXUS,QQQ?start=2025-04-15) Not saying VXUS is bad or anything I picked up IDVO, DIVO and TM during the early crash last year, but did not sell any U.S. stocks deployed my larger then normal BIL/SGOV.
Bet. I will look jnto IDVO and yes. The consensus I got is diversity is essential. At first I wanted to put it all into one thing so that is could grow greater, but realistically things are just so weird right now. It’d be unwise to go all in.
BTC at 78K - you can try to predict a bottom but… you have to figure out what news you let affect your decisions - things like “oligarchs” don’t often translate into successful decisions - personally own IDVO ETF for international exposure and it’s great for price growth and a steady monthly dividend - if you’re as cautious as it seems (not bad thing) I would suggest DCA into whatever positions you’re going to start. Diversifying is easy free advice that will make most days feel boring until sell offs happen and a good balance of investments will more often than not make you happy for having a boring portfolio. Many folks will give all kinds of advice (just like this lol) but you will see a lot of people mention DCA ($ Cost Averaging) and diversification. One last piece is to have a plan, rules and decide if you’re an investor or a trader. I rambled, it’s early I apologize. Good luck to you!
What are you trading? If 0DTE stop that. Instead try getting LVL 3 options trading. Start with monthly credit spreads. Never trade during earnings or if a company is getting ready to pay dividends. Or instead of VOO and chill. Look into investing in SPYI, QQQI, IDVO, and SGOV. All pay monthly dividends. SPYI and QQQI follow the index’s. IDVO is international exposure with great growth. SGOV is very safe it’s a bond ETF that pays monthly great place to park cash. 25% in each one will give you a nice passive income. Buy Monday while the market is still down. I lost $2600 lost $2600 last year mainly due to 0DTE trading and one bad Cash secured put options play. Study the charts. Pay attention to earnings reports. Pay attention to the Vix. If the Vix is up things are going to be RED. VIX is Down things will be Green.
RH is the best place to learn. You will need a margin account. With LVL2 trading. Start with Cash secured puts and covered calls. If you can get LVL 3 trading then credit spreads. Stay away from futures and 0DTE trading both great ways to lose your money. But before you start trading. Buy into monthly paying Index based ETF’s. SPYI,QQQI are 2 good choices. IDVO for international funds. I’m 48 started trading and investing at 45. Not a lot of time to build a nest egg. if you want ultra safe places to keep your money. SGOV,VOO,QQQ,SPY,SCHD and VTI are all popular ETFS. SGOV is a short term bond ETF that pays monthly but you balance never changes until you either receive dividends or add more money. The rest are growth funds that pay quarterly dividends.
I just divested JEPQ and QDVO. Strengthened my VYMI position and balanced it out with SCHY and IDVO.
Glad my thesis of “Trump is destroying the US economy and America’s global reputation so I’m gonna dump my life savings into SOXX and IDVO” thesis is working so far
It all depends on your goals. How much you have to invest right now. How much you can set aside each paycheck. Until you figure that out. Your best bet is SGOV. It’s a short term treasury Bond ETF. That pays monthly. It does not go down it does not go up. Pays a dividend each month. IDVO is another good one currently it’s also an ETF that pays monthly. I think around 5% but has great growth. Has done nothing but go up. It’s based on international companies. Or index based ETF’s like SPYI and QQQI. Then there is the cult favorites of ETF investing. VOO,QQQ, and SPY. There on the expensive side that’s their only downside. Any of these choices are good. If you want to trade options start with Cash secured puts and covered calls.
Man IDVO is awesome. Coupled with IEFA, even better.
I have a lot of VXUS as others have mentioned. Actually a big fan of IDVO, gives a good dividend and has outperformed VXUS over the last year.
I'm currently diversifying into IDVO, and am looking into others.
I have done this partially with IDVO and FRDM, a few weeks after the stupid liberation day. Both have smashed the S&P since then. I add periodically. Managed ETFs better than broad all world imo.
Damn that after hours pump on IDVO
I was in the same boat. Starting to turn it around. Depending on how much you have left. Start with weekly CSP’s or put credit spreads on quality companies. I have a credit spread going this week on Google. 225/222.5 is my spread. Once the week is done I will have received. $84 in premium. The deposit was $250 for the credit spread. Out of pocket I only had to put up $166. Last week did the same play made $71. In 2 weeks that’s $155 in premiums. I stopped 0DTE trading. That was my biggest issue. Just about 90% of my losses from last year was due to 0DTE/1DTE trading. If you plan on doing options 7DTE minimum. Max 30DTE. Take your premiums and put them in a good quality ETF that pays monthly like QQQI,IDVO,SPYI. Or SGOV. That way you are always making a little bit of cash each month
Recommending what I buy: BTCI QDVO IDVO DIVO VXUS. Love the income building and considering more ROC heavy ETFs like QQQI and GPIX.
Basically I’m GOOGL, BDCs, bonds and other income, and cash. Google has the best P/E of any mag 7 or other tech champions. Income stocks and bonds reflect value more rationally since they are actually based on returns. Cash is to even out returns and potentially take advantage of downturn. International stocks are also better valued than US stocks. I’m in on IDVO, EWW, and TM.
https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/s/YD3PXPt7XL I'd add some layers to the overall strategy and split 90% into all three big firm CCs. GPIX/GPIQ (my favorites), JEPI/JEPQ and as you mentioned SPYI/QQQI. The NEOS funds have the highest yield and supposed best tax efficiency. The JP funds are more defensive in nature and will outperform in flat or slightly negative markets. The Goldman funds have the most capital appreciation while still delivering high yield. At the institutional level, there is the most trust (institutional ownership) in the JP funds, followed by Goldman funds and then very low ownership for NEOS funds. All three utilize similar but different strategies, plus they still have to execute on their strategies and some months, different firms will perform better. With all three you get increased diversification and variance in returns. You also get three pay dates per month. The remaining 10% into DIVO and IDVO, 30/70 split with IDVO being the higher allocation. Similar strategies to the big firm CC funds, but long track records and lower yield with emphasis of capital appreciation over time. Very high institutional ownership (>50%). Additional security in returns/distributions, one more payday per month and added international allocation. Then using the distributions, reinvest some back into each fund and use the rest for w.e. Id personally juice up the amplify funds with my big CC fund's distributions (doing that now). Also check out QDVO. Good luck 👍🏻
That explains why IDVO has been so good this year. Of all my recently added ETFs, it's my favorite ETF.
Take a look at IDVO ... Here is a useful video to educate on Global performance... Outside of USA there are many Profitable Entities.. the TECH Buble and MAG 7 have created a Bubble.. it may soon burst... Global is a Hedge against the correction.. https://youtu.be/jynNVpCbGmc?si=9hoxB8dg-7tE7WLi
I started building up DIVO IDVO QDVO BTCI so that I will just sell my VTI VXUS later on to buy more of all of that. At retirement, i intend to have distributions equalling $20K a month and $5K a quarter. Or maybe I’ll dip out at half that. We’ll see.
i wish to live in "Sweetden" greetings from Türkiye. I prefer to invest in etfs like VOO, QQQ, IDVO, SCHG etc.
IDVO has only been out for 3 years but averaged 19% per year. I know its not a 10 year time frame but if they can do it during a bull market with ai being all the hype, its something to consider (in tax free options since it pays dividends, im from eu so dont pay those)
So I do 40% of my total port across all 3 to fill my "International." However, CGDG is *up to* 50% Ex- US (currently 47% I believe), so it's not really 40% Ex-US. I try not to overthink it, so I'm just doing 15% IDMO, 15% IDVO, and 10% CGDG. IDVO just has more history than CGDG, but I might rebalance later.
Yes, I love IDMO! I'm going to add AVDE, too. I also have IDVO. Yes, it's technically a covered call fund, but really, it's a dividend growth fund with a splash of strategic calls.
Yeah too many people are caught up in recency bias since we're about 20 years of an epic bull run in the states. I like a combo of IDMO, IDVO and CGDG for international exposure. VXUS isnt great because there are too many losers in just the total ex-US market.
There are other periods of time where Ex-US outperformed it's just that the average redditor is way too young to know about it. That's why the traditional advice is to allocate 20-40% of the equities portion of your portfolio to international/ex-US funds. One caveat is that funds like VXUS are trash because they just take everything in the global market regardless of the metrics. With international, it's best to get some type of factor fund like IDMO or managed funds like IDVO and CGDG. You do need an expert to sift through all the bad companies in other markets.
Yeah I actually have that as a good 10% of my portfolio currently. I am looking to pair it up with something else so not just focused on small cap. I may go with IDVO or VYMI. But honestly looking at vxus a second time for just this year...the total returns is very respectable compared to VOO. If the US continues its volatility, I do believe international etfs will do well...but if somehow...the US gets a handle on restoring faith in the US financial systems, then I think international etfs will lag behind US (like previously)...but honestly I don't see any improving of US financial systems...just worse.
IDVO gets exposure to BABA and Tencent too I think. Would take that find over anything else with exposure to Chinese stocks.
EGGY is the closest thing to what I have been looking for. The downside protection and options income is superb. Will it really be safe in a crash? Who knows. Otherwise, I like how IDVO and QDVO are setup.
I’m buying a basket of ETFs: SPMO VOO VXUS SCHD IDVO QDVO
Check out funds from Amplify: QDVO is well structured and I find it to be well paired with IDVO.
Honestly, why not have a mix of both? I have both SPY and QQQ based etfs as well as a sizable SPYI, QQQI, IAUI, BTCI, and IDVO dividend portfolio. The main draw for me on dividends is that my career path is fairly unstable and I can just turn off DRIP on my dividend stocks to help support income in the case of job loss instead of selling shares at a possible loss.
Weren't you the one that brought up the 1950s. You are the one bringing up the past. I'm about 15% international myself. I don't own vxus. I have vymi and Shld. Shld etf is 45% international. And i think IDMO and IDVO both look interesting. I do not hate international. Get it through your head. Im not saying US will outperform every year. I never said the US outperformed every country. I was talking about stop fear mongering about the lost decade for US stocks when international was almost 2 decades lost. VGTSX international fund also fell during the dotcom. It was -15% in 2000, -20% in 2001, -15% in 2002, and -44% in 2007. But, people act like that didn't happen. Spy was -9% in 2000, -11% in 2001, -21% in 2002, and -36% in 2008.
IFN, the India Fund, is an interesting CEF that has a pretty long history of payouts. ILF, the iShares Latin America Fund, is paying north of 6% dividends. There is a fund for Argentina, but it is, I believe 20% Mercado Libre. Just buy the stock. I think a better diversifier is IDVO. This is the only one I would consider a core holding. The others are like spices - good in small amounts. If you want distressed and out of favor, go with DVYE, which is emerging markets dividend payers.
I'm retired and spend at least some of my dividends each month. This may or may not be appropriate for everyone, but I moved more money into IDVO and EFAA earlier this year. Been great so far. I also hold JPIB, but those are bonds. My NDIV is 1/3 outside the US as well. And, of course, there's always things like Bitcoin if you want to do that.
I actually love this approach. I’m 50’s (50) and have a kind of sketchy version of this, but it’s been something I’ve been thinking about. I def need more international, and less US. I’m a bit worried about being leveraged 15%, but I do have a very favorable margin rate. What do you get? What do you think about covered call ETFs, REIT’s, Preference Shares? My margin is significantly lower than the after tax yield PFFA and SPYI would give me, so leveraging myself with some of those would give me ‘free money’. Also IDVO gives me income and international exposure.
SCHG, SCHD, and I actually like IDVO the best for international exposure. VXUS kind of sucks because they just dump any international stock in there, whereas IDVO has more of a selection criteria. Or if you really want to be safe and diversified, get VT
If you take a few minutes to look, you can find some REALLY beaten down stuff out there in the emerging markets. Like DVYE is paying close to 12% in dividends. There are safer options paying north of 5%, and even into 6%. IDVO might even get you some growth. Stocks will often move together in a crash, so just be ready for that. If you are concerned about it, you can also hold unhedged international bonds (most bond funds are hedged to the US dollar, so be aware). You can also buy cash in foreign currencies, and gold. Each of those have different risks. There are also some good CEFs that have international exposure.
Go look at IDVO. It is the international version of DIVO, and it has performed better than SCHY and VYMI at the same time it has a substantially higher dividend payout.
Densely packed informative post here; hope OP sees it. These are lots of specific ETFs I would mention right alongside you. Looking into IDVO and HELO which I have not heard of. Good stuff!
DIVO, QDVO, IDVO, SCHD, SPYI, VYMI, O. some combination will get you to the 7% you’re looking for.
IDVO is international. DIVG/SPHD are heavy in sectors that could be considered defensive (SPHD more so). Those sectors did the best during the last big crisis (utilities, staples, etc...). It looks to me like some money is moving out of the US and in the US some is rotating into a defensive position. I get the impression that big money sees a turbulent year ahead for US stocks.
DIVG is up almost 4% and IDVO is up over 6%.
Lots of non-US ETFs. IDVO is ok if you want divs. There are many by region and individual countries.
