Hi Brent, do I pay FIF tax if I buy Smartshares US 500 ETF (NZF USF)?

InvestNow just announced two new funds in their Foundation Series Funds, the Total World Fund, and the US500 Fund, with the lowest fees for a NZ fund I've seen so far, at 0.07% and 0.03% respectively, I think both are going to take a big hit! What are you thoughts on these two new ones?

What do you think of the relatively new foundation series at this point?

Hi Brent, thanks for this video and others that you’ve made. Definitely, you has helped me a lot to understand the share market and other investimentos in NZ which I’d like to start investing.

I’d like to know more about property funds/REIT. I’ve done some research but I still needs to understand that. Have you ever invested in this funds? What’s your opinion and what about the dividends/passives from them? Is it worth to invest?
