Hey, I’ve got a question. I’ve recently dived into the world of investing. I’ve been investing for about 6 months and I’m not sure whether I should mainly invest in MSCI ACWI / MSCI World, or split my portfolio like this:
60% iShares Core S&P 500 Acc
20% iShares Core MSCI EM IMI Acc
10% VanEck Uranium and Nuclear Technologies Acc
10% iShares Automation & Robotics Acc
My reasoning is that if I invest, for example, 60% into iShares Core MSCI World, I still end up buying mostly US companies anyway. MSCI World is heavily weighted toward the S&P 500, around 60–70%, which is responsible for most of the long-term growth.
At the same time, if something serious happens in the US market, Europe, Japan and other developed markets will likely be affected as well. Because of that, I’m wondering whether it makes more sense to build my own allocation instead of using a single global ETF.
Do you think this strategy makes sense, or would it be better to replace the S&P 500 with a worldwide ETF? What’s your opinion? Do you have other ideas? Thanks for any comment!
