VTS/VEU vs VGS/VGE
« on: June 30, 2019, 09:37:22 AM »
To build a 'low expense' global inc emerging markets ex Australia portfolio I could go in 2 ways:
- buy say 50% VTS with costs of 0.03% and 50% VEU with costs of 0.09% = costs of 0.06% annually
- buy say 90% VGS with costs of 0.18% and 10% VGE with costs of 0.48% = costs of 0.21% annually

Investment cost wise VTS/VEU seems like a no brainer except I'm aware that VTS/VEU have a US domicile (vs VGS/VGE having an Australia domicile).

Does the non-Aus domicile make any practical difference come Aus tax return time?

I wonder if its worthwhile just being 100% VTS.
