ETF Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) 2019

Probably @SatayKing selling and moving to VAS to save on fees.

One would think a STW fee reduction is imminent?

 

If we are correcting grave injustices, I'll point out it should be ".....to try to correct....."

 

Here's hoping, otherwise its not looking good for inflows/outflows (in the negative below)

Rounding out the 2019 Financial Year, ETFs hit $50 billion last month, We take a look at where the flows went and the trends we are spotting from the data.

 

I blame my speech pathologist mother.

Having said that, generally speaking I would not have mentioned it except in the spirit of ensuring no grave injustices.

 

Not surprising, Russell’s Australian value ETF was pulled;

A reminder of the risks in strategy focussed ETFs - if it doesn’t work, or doesn’t work fast enough they are gone.

 

Thanks for posting, vanilla ETF's the way to go

 

Thanks. Especially in less tax effective environments these unwanted tax events can be a pain assuming there was a CG.

Extremely high probability of Survival is an important factor in fund choice for me.

Just noticed VAS Annual Statement is available on Computershare.

 

Rub it in why dontcha.

Waiting, waiting, waiting.

 

Just read on whirlpool about STW and no franking credits for june quarter apparently????

 

Yeah one of mine rang ages ago wondering why. Told 'em stuffed if I know blame it on the election. Somebody - no one on here, it was an acquaintance of mine - mentioned it has also happened with VAS at one stage.

 

STW included franking credits in its September 2018, December 2018 and March 2019 distributions. The June 2019 testing showed that the franking credits already distributed exceeded the franking credits permitted under the “benchmark rule”. As a result, STW was unable to distribute franking credits for the June quarter. To be clear, it is not that STW did not receive franked dividends. Rather, under the “benchmark rule”, STW is not permitted to pass all its franking credits through to investors for the 2018/19 income year or carry them forwards to future years.

Geez they need to lift their game. You’d think given STW’s fee is nearly double that of VAS you’d get your Statement in half the time. Ripoff.

Tax returns for personal, trust and SMSF all done and emailed to accountant & SMSF administrator this morning. Getting simpler each year and will be even simpler again next year. Bliss.

 

LOL. Probably.

Fortunately for me, if not for others, my attitude, as it is to most things, is one of I couldn't care less. Now that's optimum.

 

Ta @Redwing. Some nice Why info there. I'll pass it on.

 

Indexers beware:
