For the S&P500 ETF VOO, does it makes sense to say that if I'm only interested in capital gains, I should not be bothered about the 30% dividend WHT?

I'm interested to invest in the S&P500 ETF VOO listed in NYSE. Does it makes sense to say that if I'm only interested in capital gains, I should not be bothered about the 30% dividend WHT?

Is there anything else to note about buying VOO? I'm not really interested in Irish domiciled ETFs though.

Not quite, but approximate.

when the dividend was roughly about 2 % per year recently

the capital appreciation was at least 10% per year over the last 10 years

and possibly 7% per year over ultra-longterm, calculated.

and yes VOO seems a very good choice generally ...

Hi, i'm a newbbie. Why do people invest in S REITs for dividends (aka income) when the interest is very low? Why not just invest in global ETFs and just sell off the interest gained from it (income also?) as the interests are higher?

Hi! Newbie here! I'm about to make my first investment into ETF. I'd like to start with an ETF that tracks the S&P 500. My goal is long term, and for capital appreciation, not for dividends payouts. What are your suggestions?

Is it smarter to save on capital gains tax or dividends tax? Assuming a 10 year period. Capital gains 25% and Dividends 15% VERSUS Capital gains 0% and Dividends 30%.

I have 30k in UOB acc including 5mth emergency fund. I want to hit 50k to max my interest. Does it make sense to use say 10k from it and use it in SSB / STI ETF and cash out instead? Mid 20s here.

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?
