Peach. Complete newbie here. Heard someone talking about ETF's on a random YouTube video and YouTube pointed me in your direction. You breakdown from this and a couple of other videos is helping me get my heard round this. Thanks mate.

[Grâce-ndx]

I watched all Aussie YouTuber and I must say you are the fastest I can't barely keep up with what you are saying.

[TNTsAssissin]

Hay Bryan, hope you and your family are awesome Peaches. 🍑 I’ve been investing $200 a week and it’s starting to pay off… ETF’s are definitely the way to go, invest and forget with 100% reinvestment…. 😎👍 also thanks for putting the time for your newsletter and your vid’s… Jason M

[TomBailey-fi]

New subscriber here. Awesome video mate! I have been bingeing your playlist all morning 😂

[adesertsojourner]

Brian, love your channel! I’m new to investing and just wanted to clarify, you mentioned that if a ETF isn’t domiciled in Australia you won’t be able to set up a dividend reinvestment plan, however I’ve bought into VTI, which is domiciled in US, and I can activate DRIP (on moomoo). Though I’m wishing now I had bought VGS instead though for tax time next year

Peach downside or the hurdle is initial 500$ for each fund which make 1000 grand minimum your first investment.
Where as in usa u can even buy for a dollar. Major reveamp required to bring fractional share purchase in aussie land

[sameastlake]

Peach. This is very helpful content. Thanks mate.

[kIsulOvu]

Peach! thank you for the useful information. I'm a mum who is looking for extra ways to invest my small amount of money for our future. this is so helpful!

[hllbringerng]

peach, great video. I ended up going with VAS and IVV

[PapaFigz]

This might be the sign for. Me to start investing.. Thanks Peach!! Keep it up

[dapz]

Peach! Thanks for all the awesome content Bryan you've really helped Aussies like me learn about investing and begin my investment journey. Keep up the great work!

[AussieTraveller-jxct]

Watching this from Vietnam! Love your content brother 💙

[rosie]

Peach! Love your work, the absolute best! 🤩🤩

[gothops]

Thanks mate.
Do you think IOO may be even better than VGS and Betashares A200 better than VAS or are they about equivalent?
Cheers.

[Bobbydazzlla]

Bryan, you're a peach. Always love watching the informative content in your videos. I'm getting to the point where I'll be setting up a retirement income stream to supplement our two defined benefit pensions we have coming in (July next year). I was thinking a 70/30 split of VGS/VAG would be a good option from what I've seen on a few of the channels on Youtube. Mostly because of the diversified hedging and the fact that the U.S. market does out perform our local market quite considerably. Thanks for the info and see you next time.

[farahmalik]

Could you please advise me where to invest to in Vanguard to maximize the outcome and it should be ethical.thanks U are doing amazing job

[ParasTube]

Hi Brian,
Thank you for Australian related content. It's so hard to find so very valuable. I do have some requests if you are taking any.
I'd love to see videos on how to fill out adsense tax information for US and Singapore as Austalians seem to be connected to both and I'm not too sure on the tax treaty questions.

[PaulSciberras-qfoj]

Why do you think VGS and VAS combo is better than say VDHG and or VESG which seem to organically do a similar thing to the combined portfolios with higher historical growth?

Thanks 😊

[MrLerouxalbert]

Question is auto invest the same as dollar cost averageing?
