For US market asset allocation, is it better to invest in VTI or an Ireland domiciled S&P500 ETF?

VTI has mid & small cap coverage thats missing in S&P500. It has better liquidity. Downside is the 30% dividend tax & estate tax. Which do you think is a better choice for a Singaporean investor? Also which has better long term returns? (5-10 years)

I think its best you check what are the holdings of the ETF.

That is what i do before I buy any ETF to ensure that i do not buy similar and ETF that has similar holdings in the portfolio.

I think VTI and S&P ETF like VOO and IVV or SPY have similar holding.

Majority of it are in MSFT and AAPL those usual suspects.

Hi all, I’m looking to invest in ETFs that track S&P500 index. However, I’m torn between choosing to invest direct into US Market (FSM) or Ireland-domiciled funds.?

I am keen on investing in US ETF. Many recommend Ireland-domiciled US-ETF instead of US-listed US-ETF due to lower withholding tax. Is it really better?

If US domiciled S&P500 etf such as VOO has 30% dividend withholding tax and people advocate going for Ireland domiciled ones, then why do people still invest in individual US stocks?

I am keen to invest in Ireland-domiciled/LSE ETF via DCA/RSP for long-term (i.e retirement as I want to avoid WHT in US market). Any advice to use Saxo or DBS Vickers, considering fees and charges on RSP?

Hi, what are the differences between Ireland & US-domilciled ETFs that track S&P500 index? IBKR/SAXO/SCB for Ireland-domiciled ETFs and funds for monthly DCA?
