83. Should you switch to the newest (and cheapest) ETFs?

Would you sell your ETFs just to save 0.1% a year in fees?

In this episode, Hayden and Dave unpack some of the newest additions to the ETF marketplace, and work out where (if anywhere) they'd fit in a long-term portfolio.

They cover:

👉 BGBL vs VGS: half the management fee for basically the same portfolio, and why switching isn't free once tax enters the picture

👉 VDAL, Vanguard's answer to DHHF: all-growth and all-in-one, minus VDHG's 10% bonds, and when one-fund portfolios make the most sense

👉 EMKT and factor investing: why this emerging markets fund has outpaced VGE, and the catch of paying guaranteed fees for an unguaranteed outcome

👉 Currency hedging, finally explained: what HNDQ actually does differently to NDQ, and who might genuinely need it

👉 V500 and A300, the new cheap rivals to IVV and VAS, and whether brand power beats a lower fee

👉 Old-school LICs trading at 15% discounts: buying a dollar of assets for 85 cents, and the risks hiding in the bargain
