Which US S&P500 ETF should I buy using tiger brokers VUSA, IWADA, VOO or SPY?

Hi Anonymous,

Assuming you have decided to invest in S&P500, another option is Lion Global Infinity US 500 Stock Index Fund via Endowus (Fund Smart):

For this one, it's SGD hedged, no sales charges and 100% trailer fee rebates. If you have more queries, you may schedule a free consultation with them:

(And I believe there is no withholding tax. You may ask them to confirm.)

You are right that the withholding tax is more favourable to Irish Domiciled ETFs (VUSA, IWDA, CSPX).

Do note also that the expense ratios for Irish Domiciled ETFs are higher than those in the US and also those in the US tend to be more liquid.

Between the US ETFs VOO and SPY, note that while SPY is more liquid, the expense ratio is 3x that of VOO (0.09% to 0.03%). So betweent the both, I'll likely choose VOO instead. IVV is also almost identical to VOO so either will do.

Also on a side note, I'm not sure that Tiger offers LSE access? I was under the impression that it only had access to US, HK, SG, CN and AU market access.

To sum up, if your broker allows for the Irish Domiciled ETFs, I would go for those. If not, VOO or IVV is good for US based ETFs
