If you had $20,000, build your ETF portfolio like this

How would you invest $20,000 over 10 years without ending up with a jumble of overlapping ETFs?

In this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast, Owen Rask sits down with Cameron McCormack, Senior Portfolio Manager at VanEck, to build a simple core-and-satellite portfolio from scratch with $20,000. Owen also throws Cameron a curveball, in the way of an extra $3,000 for a satellite choice.

They unpack ETF overlap, home-country bias, concentration in the ASX 200, the difference between core and satellite holdings, and why every investment should have a clear role in the portfolio.

If you want a practical framework for combining Australian shares, international quality, emerging markets and gold, this episode gives you a clear place to start your research.
