hey @Leap,
i am more on the small/value-tilt side than others here in the forum, as you can see with my portfolio.
To me it’s bot valid to say
- keep it simple: VT, or
- i’d like to participate in the small/ value premium and hence do a bit of weighting.
the latter imposes a loooong investment horizon, 20y+, and insignificant trading costs increase relative to simply VT.
I found for myself that that the trade-off between picking value stocks (i.e. value -ETF) and hence losing diversification vs. the whole market is often an argument against.
