Accessing S&P500 or other Index funds in Ireland

Shad0r · 07-03-2024 09:29PM #1

Just wondering if anyone knows a route for me to be able to buy index funds as part of my pension fund efforts here in Ireland?

EG: Vanguard

Any idea's if this is possible and if so who I should talk to about it.

Thanks

Degiro would be one i'd recommend.

Standard Life offer vanguard funds that track the ftse etc in prsa wrapper to the best of my knowledge so perhaps they have a specific sp500 one too

Would be interested to find out if there are other providers too that offer passive index funds like that and ones that track MSCI etc

Use Trading212 where there are no fees to purchase SXR8.

SXR8 has a TER of just 0.07% ( https://www.justetf.com/en/etf-profile.html?isin=IE00B5BMR087 ).

Be aware of ETF taxes before investing.

Standard Life have a few Vanguard funds available on their pensions, including Vanguard US 500 Stock Index Fund.

After reading the documents for the vanguard global stock index fund...says its benchmark is the msci...Does this means it replicates the relevant msci index or it just aims to? And as a consequence its much less diversified?

Its also not the same as VWCE which includes developing markets as well (VWCE also an ETF so I suppose it wouldnt be exactly the same anyway given its an index fund) but it doesnt seem to match a similar Vanguard ETF

Me confused

Which investment do you pay the least amount of tax on?
