VTI/VXUS/VOO equivalent for ISA trading?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I transferred my ISA from HL to IG a few months back (mainly because of HL's ridiculous charges) and i have not been able to find any ETF to essentially mimic VTI in particular that I can trade on my ISA account. Would you have any idea of any ETFs available on ISA share dealing that would perform and hold similar if not identical stocks with VTI and VOO and VXUS.

I am quite stressed about finding something soon because I haven't found anything in a while and my money is just sitting there. Also, not sure IG can help as they don't seem to be knowledgeable whenever I've spoken to them. 

Any ideas very appreciated.

Thanks :)

Hi, I empathise rates on HL are high, and I have considered doing something similar, but I think they have exposure to a larger range of funds?.. unless you are considering putting your ISA money into companies that pay dividends I can't see the point of bringing ISA here to IG... Please advise though as I'm considering doing something similar. Maybe consider setting up an ISA portfolio with investments that pay dividends instead.

Hi, the ETFs you refer to are all US-domiciled ETFs which are not available to UK investors given that they do not produce a Key Information Document (KID). This is part of a set of EU investment regulations designed to protect consumers (PRIIPs stands for Packaged Retail Investment and Insurance Products). More info here: https://www.etfstream.com/features/etf-insight-european-investors-set-to-be-impacted-by-kid-requirements/

Instead, you can invest in UCITS ETFs which provide such documentation. I have given some examples of UCITS ETFs below which are also listed on the London Stock Exchange which will give you a similar exposure and also help to keep you costs of investing down. But others are available and please do your own research on these before investing.

Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) have performed similar to Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF (VUSA) given the vast majority of their exposure is to US large cap stocks.

CSP1 invests purely in S&P 500 stocks so has a slightly lower exposure to smaller cap stocks than VTI. Over past three years VTI has outperformed CSP1 by 1.45%.

For Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS), unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a UCITS alternative. You can see the country breakdown in the link below and could look to replicate the majority of its exposure using some single country ETFs: https://investor.vanguard.com/etf/profile/portfolio/vxus

Alternatively, we have a range of managed portfolios called IG Smart Portfolios which give investors access to a range of international equities. You can add an IG Smart Portfolio in the dashboard area of My IG. More information on these can be found here: https://www.ig.com/uk/investments/smart-portfolios

    • The U.S. stock markets are currently experiencing a bullish trend, with any recent downward movements considered part of a bullish corrective pattern according to Elliott Wave analysis. Trading activities are being temporarily paused until after the U.S. elections, as this week is expected to be highly active due to 622 earnings reports and the Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for November 7th. Key Elliott Wave Analysis: S&P 500 (SPX): In Wave 4, with three bullish wave counts under consideration. NASDAQ 100 (NDX): Progressing through Wave 4. Apple (AAPL): Entered Wave (2), indicating a corrective phase. Amazon (AMZN): In Wave iv) of 5 of (1), suggesting a minor correction within an overall upward trend. NVIDIA (NVDA): Advancing in Wave 1 of (5), pointing to the beginning of a new upward impulse. Meta Platforms (META): Nearing completion of Wave 4, potentially setting the stage for Wave 5 upward movement. Netflix (NFLX): Completed a Wave 4 Triangle pattern, indicating a possible breakout. Alphabet (GOOGL): Currently in Wave 4, suggesting a corrective phase before the next upward impulse. Microsoft (MSFT): Holding at the 400 support level, in Wave A of (2), which may be the start of a larger corrective pattern. Tesla (TSLA): Moving through Wave 4 of (1), indicating a short-term correction. Bitcoin (BTC): In Wave 4, suggesting a consolidation phase before potential upward movement. Trading Strategy Insight: Investors are advised to monitor these developments closely, especially in light of the upcoming U.S. elections and significant economic events this week. The Elliott Wave patterns indicate that while short-term corrections are occurring, the overall market trend remains bullish. Combining this technical analysis with fundamental factors will be crucial for making informed trading decisions. Analyst Peter Mathers TradingLounge Source: tradinglounge com    
    • Any good DeFi project like ETH, OPT, & ARB are my favorite & wouldn't hesitate to DCA ZRC on Bitget's pre-market campaign tho was able to secure some drops. Hoping to make some profit.
    • The emergence of interactive gaming features within messaging platforms like Telegram presents a dynamic shift in how we engage with digital content. It's intriguing to observe the blending of entertainment, social connectivity, and potential rewards that these mini-games bring to the table I haven't played RoOLZ yet but I do like attack on titans and I've watched all the seasons.  Hope to earn some GODL while I am it!  Thanks for the info
