Would you buy an ETF just because it is cheaper, more tax-efficient and easier to access from Singapore?
With new UCITS ETFs coming to SGX, that choice is about to become much more relevant for local investors.
But convenience is only one part of the equation.
In this episode of Chills with TFC, Reggie, Dawn, Chuin Ting Weber and Kang Wei Chin unpack what investors should actually look at before choosing an ETF: the index underneath it, withholding tax, brokerage costs, bid-ask spreads, liquidity and whether “passive” really means passive.
They also get into a surprisingly important question: when an ETF says “World”, how much of the world are investors actually getting?
The ETF wrapper may look simple. What sits inside it can be very different.
So if two ETFs track similar markets, what matters most to you: lower fees, tax efficiency, easier access or broader diversification?
