DHHF is showing its got a market cap of like $550million yet its got 15million shares on issue with a $36 stock price, so isnt its market cap like $50million not $500 million

[MythicalZone]

Is VAS + VGS combination good enough or some other combinations would be better ?

I also noticed that the VAS and VGS average returns seems to be low when compared to ETFs that track S&P 500 etc

VDHG is the popular option though DHHF sounds better to me and apparently has less capital gains tax events.

Didn’t mention Tax Drag and incorrectly stated that VDHG consists of ETFs when it actually consists of managed funds.

These are huge considerations that should have been talked about.

Going long equities isn't diversified...at all... I mean what are we doing here? Australian etfs suck so badly. But, not as badly as Australian youtubers. Its kindergarten shit every time. How about we talk about etf's like UPAR, NTSX, RSSB, RSST, GDE. You get 100 percent equities with most of these with room for things like bonds (RSSB, NTSX), and gold(GDE), and managed futures (RSST). There are many many more. Without managed futures in 2022, you ate a shit sandwich. UPAR is as close as it gets to an 'all in one etf', but even that suffered in 22. Of course, I'd rather not take on the currency risk of US etf's, but there just isn't anything close in OZ. Any combination of the above will outperform SPY with less volatility, despite using small amounts of leverage to get their expanded coverage. RSSB, for example gives 100percent stocks and 100percent bonds .
