I am a relatively new account and watching your videos is definitely motivating me. 👍

Oil and gas isn't there any more. Is it up to Vanguard to move stuff in and out as they please or have they combined it in another category? BP and Shell are still on the list.

Hi, I'm quite new to investing and I made the jump to vanguard to invest in the S&P 500 ETF (VUSA) as my first investment. If I invested via Trading 212 wouldn't I have to pay capital gains tax on any profits because it wouldn't be in my ISA?

[gallonofalcoholicbeverage]

Hi do you recommend the (VUSA) s&p 500 ETF or the FTSE 100 etf? I’m about to invest and the s&p one just seems better

Great video, very clear guidance on FTSE 100, will you provide an update on trading 212 soon?

Great Videos!

I was wondering if you plan on moving all of your investments from vanguard into 212? Can you move the Lifestrategy too? Or is that a Vanguard only product? Also, on vanguard it seems a lot easier to deal with everything in the Stocks and Shares ISA? Where as on 212 it doesn't seem as clear? If I make all my trades / investments under the ISA account in the top right am I right to assume that is the "Stocks and Shares" ISA? Thanks again for all the great vidoes!

I have ftse 100 over s&p500 and I'm really stuck as to which way to go. For now I'm with the ftse 100 still lol.

Can I ask what the difference is between the FTSE100 ETF and FTSE100 index fund is?
Would you consider the FTSE Global all cap as I guess that covers UK and US? Sorry just signed up to vanguard and deciding where to invest!!

[blagooba]

Out of interest why do you buy this instead of the FTSE 100 share fund on vanguard? It has lower cost and seems to have a better return and income option?

[annarali]

Hi,
Thank you for all the useful content!
I was wondering why not invest instead in the FTSE 100 Index Unit Trust Accumulation that has a lower ongoing charge compared to the FTSE 100 UCITS ETF. Sorry in advance if it's a silly question!

Nice one mate, I hold the ftse 100 aswell, energy makes up a nice chunk of it aswell, contributing to why its down, it will be back up though, proving slower than the us market though

20 years of no growth.. poor investment.
