Investing advice! Living in UK for another year and moving to US after
« on: June 03, 2015, 07:23:30 AM »
I want to open a Betterment account to invest with Vanguard (90% stocks, 10% bonds) but I am currently residing and getting salary in the UK. Having read a bit of advice for people in UK, I have concluded that Vanguard Lifestrategy is the way to go in the UK. The question is: is it worth setting up a Vanguard Lifestrategy UK portfolio, so that after a year when I move to US I will have to pull the money out and reinvest through Betterment? Thank you in advance

Are you an American? I would think that would make it not really a problem to open an American account.

Best is if you call both Betterment and Vanguard and explain your situation to them. I'm with Schwab, had an international account with them when I was in Japan, they converted it into a "US" one when I moved to the US. The process was reasonably painless, and I didn't have to sell/transfer anything.
My point is, Vanguard or Betterment might be fine with having a UK account transferred to the US and vice versa
