Thank you. I'll check out IWS and IJJ. I'm not sure AVMV should be in that mid-cap list though?
There are plenty of other options in the mid-cap space that may be more suitable for your needs. Mid cap blend: IWR, IJH, XMHQ, VO, Mid cap value: IWS, IJJ, AVMV Diversifying beyond US large cap is wise if you are a long term investor.
Should I sell these: CLCEX CMIEX CTRZX CZMSX CZMVX MINIX MCVIX IJJ My portfolio is very widespread. I’m new to investing but my advisor has spread me way out
Hey everybody title says it all. I’m new to this and I’m looking to basically invest and get long term growth. I currently have A Roth IRA with 192.00$ invested in VTI. And I also have a individual account with 437.00$ invested in VOO and 100$ invested in IJJ. I just deposited another 100$ that I’m looking to put into something else. Any recommendations or insight about what I have currently going on. Thanks guys . I only been investing for a week so bear with me.
I'd look at VOE index holdings, and IJJ.
Both personally and professionally I’ll weight according to long run index weightings. That way I’m not rebalancing my portfolios as frequently while still approximately benefiting from the market trend. For example if you wanted to approximate the long run Russell 3000 weighting for small, mid, and large companies you could have a domestic portfolio like: 36% IVE - Large Value 36% IVW - Large Growth 9% IJJ - Mid Value 9% IJK - Mid Growth 5% IJS - Small Value 5% IJT - Small Growth Combine international and fixed income to arrive at (60/40 portfolio for example): 15.12% IVE - Large Value 15.12% IVW - Large Growth 3.78% IJJ - Mid Value 3.78% IJK - Mid Growth 2.10% IJS - Small Value 2.10% IJT - Small Growth 18% ACWX - Developed International/EM 40% AGG - US Fixed Income
Happy to give a suggestion. One thing to note if you’re going the passive route is the index construction methodologies. Depending on the benchmark index underneath the fund it can determine the exposure you have to certain market components. For example, the S&P benchmark indices have an underlying profitability requirement for inclusion that acts as a quality filter on companies. Compare this to an index like the Russell 3000 which does not have that same requirement and holdings can differ somewhat significantly. Domestic ETFs for consideration: Large Value - IVE Large Growth - IVW Mid Value - IJJ Mid Growth - IJK Small Value - IJS Small Growth - IJT International and emerging market equities in an ETF wrapper are harder to find value/growth passive options that encapsulate a great degree of the universe so it’s likely best to go with an MSCI World Ex US product here (ACWX). Fixed income, unless you have a tangible opinion on yield curve shape, duration, and convexity, can arguably be achieved best passively through US Aggregate exposure (AGG). Active funds are a similar thought process, just requires manager due diligence and comfort with portfolio managers theses and strategies underlying the investment shop.
There's a limit for growth on these large caps, they cant exactly keep doubling at those trillion dollar marketcap. Given you've got time on your side why not consider Midcaps. VOE or IJJ, or some smallcap value, emerging markets, etc..
IJJ (or something similar) is an easy pick, you get a basket of stocks.
If I were you I would just buy VOE and IJJ, dont get suckered into high growth at this point. Here was 2008, imagine yourself during this time. Widespread fear and panic, people were unsure whether the economy would sustain their stocks, many panic sold at a huge loss. With an value based index fund you can at least feel safe in holding through a crisis, which is coming inevitably. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja3CK3XDV5I
Even if Microsoft does well its already up 300% in a couple of years, it now has to grow into its marketcap. In the mean time tech could bomb, the economy could collapse, commodities could shoot up, this is why ETF are good. I would suggest IJJ personally. You can expect a 10.5% return or so on it, historically.
50% IJJ, 50% VEU would be my spread.
I prefer IJJ, for the historic performance advantages.
Lots of IJJ. Best bang for your buck historically.
Paypal doesnt look too bad, but there are a lot of overvalued companies, so you need to be wary. Walmart is a 50x PE ratio now, meaning its replaced bonds, because interest rates are near 0% as the FED now buys all its own bonds, which is how the government gets money. So the market is distorted beyond recognition. Paypal has a lot of competition, with Apple pay and every tech giant has its own payment app now. I would personally suggest putting all your money in a split of IJJ and VEU, then put like 2k in Paypal. Dont dump it all in one stock, get a decent base first that is paying dividends, which you can then find winners to invest in.
Maybe put your money In an ETF like IJJ or SPGP instead.
