What is your favorite ETF that's available in Europe?

[BennyBunnySoBe]

Your content is really interesting and complete, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[CMac]

Thanks for the video. I bought SPYL and SPYY based on earlier videos you posted. I went with JPSC for small cap. Will see how that pans out.

[cunhaHornet]

Thanks for the knowledge share, please keep it up.

[D_M]

I regularly watch your videos but wasn’t subscribed until now, what a shame from my side its just a click...
I really like the way you approach your videos in general, Angelo!
Keep it up!

[fbollaert]

Wonderful whirlwind of knowledge. Very impressive
I love how simple you strategy remains, even tough you know all the alternatives.

[simonjonesptchester]

Informative and interesting video as always - thanks, Angelo :)

[TheMikibikey]

Again a very transparent video! Thank you!!

VWCE - For the win. Buy and hold. Closing in on 20% upside in a year.

[jcicarelli]

Hey, nice video Angelo. Quick question: have you considered the MSCI World Quality Factor? It seems it has outperformed the regular one consistently over the years

[luigimirabelli]

Thanks for this video Angelo! Keep it up

Thank you for bringing attention to the systematic exclusion by Amundi of companies with "Exposure to controversial weapons (anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions, chemical weapons and biological weapons)". For anyone interested, this definition comes from EU regulation 2022/1288.
To understand the effect this has on performance, the "MSCI World ex Controversial Weapons Index" should be comparable. Looking at its factsheet it results in a total difference to the MSCI World Index over the past 18 and a half years of +0.1% (in favor of excluding, that is). Safe to say it's negligible at best. This makes sense because many weapons manufacturers are still there, including RTX, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, BAE Systems, so it's not like you're lacking exposure. So for me I don't mind this decision by Amundi at all.

Thanks. Great informative video. Any alternatives to the Ivesco FTSE All-World... ETF you mention in the end? It's not on the tax positive list in Denmark :(

[slavkocvijanovic]

Thanks again for a great video!

I am curious, why didnt you pick SPYI instead of FWRA?

[mihailbalanici]

I think for the European Market, Amundi Stoxx Europe 600 UCITS ETF (Acc) is a better (if not the best) option than Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe UCITS ETF (Acc), actually in all aspects: lower TER, larger fund size and higher number of holdings. But I totally understand your hesitance towards Amundi, due to its past flaky behavior. On the upside, I would argue that an European (i.e. French) asset management company is not a bad option for covering the European market.

[mihailbalanici]

Hi Angelo! Thanks a lot for the great video - I've watched quite a few and they are awesome, keep on doing this great content! Just a question: do you also invest in individual stocks, or are you focusing exclusively on ETFs? Liebe Grüße aus Berlin!

[juanmanueldacosta]

What is your opinion in the broker Lightyear?

[karsinds]

VWRL and chill. Is wise to include some % of developing markets

[raphaelb]

Would love to get your thoughts on etf picks to replicate a factor investing approach. For example I didn’t know there was a small cap value etf, any other recommendations to replicate the 5 big factors? Or do you think the recent outperformance of large cap growth stocks is the new normal and we should forget about the classical factors?

[HikaruGunner]

will you make a video explaining why you use Bitvavo for buying Bitcoin? Do you think it's secure?
