Spiderman was by far my favorite super-hero
growing up and I鈥檝e been a fanboy since
[44]
1984.
[45]
The socially awkward Peter Parker turned friendly
neighborhood spider gave us bookworms a lot
[49]
to root for.
[50]
Now the one-year wait to Avengers Endgame
gave me a lot of time to think, what about
[54]
the daily lives of our favorite costumed characters?
[56]
What are they doing with their money and what
might the Avengers invest in when they鈥檙e
[60]
not fighting universe-ending bad guys?
[62]
But Peter always seemed to have the most neurotic
and stressful life.
[65]
From never making enough money as a photographer
to protecting loved ones and the tough relationship
[69]
with Mary Jane Watson, Peter always had way
plenty to worry about so I鈥檓 thinking Spiderman
[73]
would opt for a stress-free way to grow his
dough.
[76]
For that, I鈥檓 putting together a simple,
stress-free portfolio of just five funds.
[80]
This strategy will give our web-slinger all
the diversification he needs in three different
[84]
assets from stocks and bonds to real estate.
[86]
He鈥檒l get a great dividend yield and won鈥檛
have to worry about a stock market crash while
[90]
fighting the Sinister Six.
[91]
That鈥檚 a reference for the true fanboys
out there.
[93]
I鈥檒l be using Vanguard index funds for the
portfolio because the company offers some
[96]
of the lowest cost options available.
[98]
The funds we鈥檒l be using will give you access
to thousands of stocks, bonds and real estate
[102]
companies for less than 0.12% a year.
[105]
That means an expense of less than $12 a year
on a portfolio of $10,000 dollars.
[109]
I鈥檝e got no affiliation with Vanguard and
I get no commissions from recommending the
[113]
funds.
[114]
I鈥檝e invested in them myself and recommended
them to private wealth clients throughout
[117]
my career.
[118]
The first Vanguard index fund in our portfolio
is the Dividend Appreciation ETF, ticker VIG.
[123]
The fund holds shares of 182 companies across
sectors, some of the largest companies in
[127]
the market like Microsoft, Walmart and McDonalds.
[129]
The VIG pays a 2% dividend yield which is
only a little above the market but is balanced
[134]
by solid price growth.
[135]
Over the last decade, the fund has produced
an 11.2% annual return which is one of the
[140]
highest among the Vanguard funds.
[142]
It also gives you better exposure to some
of those safety sectors like consumer goods
[145]
and services so it鈥檚 not nearly as overweight
in tech or the other sectors you usually find
[150]
in a growth fund.
[151]
That exposure to safety stocks is important
whether the stock market tumbles or you鈥檙e
[154]
fighting Thanos for the fate of the univers.
[156]
Our next fund is going to compliment the dividend
fund so we get a little more growth.
[160]
Here we have the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth
ETF, ticker MGK.
[164]
This fund holds shares of 120 companies and
has produced a 13.7% annual return over the
[169]
last decade.
[171]
The dividend yield here is only 1.4% because
the focus is really on stocks that grow faster
[175]
rather than returning cash to shareholders.
[178]
The sectors here are weighted to growth, so
you鈥檝e got more in technology and financials
[181]
and health care compared to the dividend fund.
[184]
I really like the combination here from the
two Vanguard funds because you get solid dividends
[188]
and price growth.
[190]
Investing in the two funds gives you a more
balanced investment across sectors versus
[194]
just investing in the broader market index
funds.
[197]
Now a lot of investors avoid international
stocks and think they get all the exposure
[200]
they need from those large U.S. companies.
[203]
They鈥檙e missing out on a huge opportunity
for higher dividends and less risk though.
[207]
Investing directly in international companies
takes a lot of the risk from the U.S. dollar
[211]
and other economic problems.
[214]
Any company based in the U.S. is going to
be exposed to these even if it has a lot of
[218]
foreign cash flow so you really need to have
at least one international stock fund in your
[222]
portfolio.
[223]
For that, I鈥檓 going to suggest the Vanguard
International High Dividend Yield ETF, ticker
[227]
VYMI.
[229]
The fund holds shares in over 900 international
companies and pays a healthy 4% dividend yield.
[234]
What I like about the fund, besides the solid
dividend and average 9.7% annual return since
[239]
inception, is the ability to get exposure
to fast-growing emerging markets as well as
[243]
developed markets around the world.
[245]
The fund has half its exposure to relatively
safe companies in Europe but also 20% in EM
[250]
stocks and Asian growth.
[252]
Just those three Vanguard funds will give
you all the stock exposure you need.
[256]
Now how much you have in these is going to
depend on things like your age and investing
[259]
goals.
[260]
Most people will want between half to 65%
of their portfolio in stocks but don鈥檛 neglect
[266]
the bonds and real estate funds we鈥檒l get
to next.
[269]
These two funds for bonds and real estate
are going to smooth out your risk in stocks,
[273]
provide some great cash flow and even give
you the opportunity to take advantage of lower
[277]
prices when the next stock market crash does
hit.
[280]
For the bond part of our portfolio, we have
the Vanguard Long-term Bond ETF or ticker
[284]
BLV.
[285]
Now bonds got smashed last year on the increase
in interest rates but have rebounded in 2019
[290]
and are actually beating stocks over the six-month
period.
[293]
The fund pays a 4% dividend and has 42% of
more than 2,000 bonds held in U.S. government
[298]
debt.
[299]
All the bonds are investment grade so extremely
safe credit ratings.
[303]
Our real estate fund here is my favorite,
the Vanguard Real Estate ETF, ticker VNQ.
[308]
Real estate is another sector that got hit
on rising rates last year but the fund has
[311]
held up and pays a 4.4% dividend yield.
[314]
There鈥檚 no better asset than real estate
for creating wealth.
[317]
We鈥檝e got another video on the channel covering
the seven real estate strategies I used after
[321]
getting out of the Marine Corps to get started
with no money down.
[324]
The problem is that even without having to
come up with tens of thousands down, property
[328]
investing can still be a lot of time and work.
[331]
REITs are a great opportunity to get that
growth and cash flow without all the work.
[337]
The Vanguard real estate fund has produced
an 8.4% annual return since its inception
[342]
in 2004 and holds shares of 184 real estate
companies.
[346]
This is a must-own fund for its diversification
in every property type and in every region.
[350]
That鈥檚 it.
[351]
Just five investments and our favorite Marvel
super hero has entire portfolio worked out.
[356]
Spiderman can sit back, put a little money
to his investments each month and dream of
[359]
spinning webs with Mary Jane.
[360]
If he鈥檚 using M1 Finance, the investing
site I鈥檓 using for our 2019 stock market
[365]
challenge, he鈥檒l also save hundreds a year
on fees and watch his money grow faster.
[369]
M1 Finance is a no-cost investing site with
some great features so I鈥檒l leave a link
