Best smartshare ETFs (in the current climate)

[Cyclical]

Happy to pay the higher fees on the kiwisaver portion of superlife.

Why is that? IE why are you happy about it and how do you think they justify it? Genuine questions and there may well be good reasons, like maybe KS comes with more administrative and governance overhead, I don't know. Cheers.

Customisation that is excellent among kiwisaver providers (40 custom funds/etfs) and detailed annual tax statements.

It is also NZ-owned unlike most of the others.

Customisation that is excellent among kiwisaver providers (40 custom funds) and very detailed annual tax statements.

So you would be happy to pay higher fees just for those 2 reasons? Seems bizarre.

Yep. I look at the underlying unit pricing for each of the funds and switch to ones that may be undervalued/have better growth prospects .everyone has their own preferences from their KS though. Without this it would be simplicity and I have pointed others I know in that direction esp those who are with banks .

In the dark arts of finance there are interesting geared funds which may soon be coming up.

I wonder if sharesies will have access to the "TQQQ" fund when they bring their US range here when they add hundreds more to their options.

anyone investing in gold via ETFs?

What advantages are there in going with USF over TWF? Currently hold USF but TWF is much cheaper. I realise USF is US companies only, but from what I can see they seem to perform fairly similarly.

Would be interested to see people’s reasons for choosing one or the other?

haha I know what you mean. To be fair though, I think just recently the money in passive funds is as much as that in active funds. So there is a place for them. And to have them listed is an additional benefit to the investor.

If you do a few eliminations - taking out ETF's basically removes one of the two Share columns in NZH
say that's the right side gone..

Eliminate more of the non performers & down on their luck from the single column
of starters & runners left - you would be lucky to have 30-40 worth even looking at ..

Just as well NZX get to bury their market pages in all the Fund & ETF listings, as what has been
evolving would be otherwise very very tellingly obvious for all to see ..

From this, we then know why the band of 'worth looking at' remaining have been adding lots
height in recent weeks/months .. as the 'yield seeking new money has been piling in ..

Think this is the end of it -- then dont be fooled or mistaken ..

Still large piles of Loot to come in off the likes of Bonus Bonds repaying their holders and
a fair quotient of further fixed deposit money maturing, looking for a better yielding home ..

According to the NZX there are 17,299,842 units of NZG on issue and yet today there was a single trade for

17,966,223

Exhibit A:

Definitely a slightly weird occurrence.
