Hi,
What are the best markets to invest in for non-US persons to minimise dividend withholding taxes (DWT)?
I have been investing in the likes of LSE listed, Irish domiciled ETFs like
40% IWDA/VWRD/VUSA (World and US exposure) 25% EIMI (Emerging Markets) 10% IDTL (US >20 year bond ETF) 8% IHYU (Junk Bond ETF)
and these in Singapore/US 15% Local Index (I am a Singaporean btw) 7% GLD (Gold ETF listed in NYSE)
Is this the optimal arrangement? I understand that it is probably good that the ETFs with US holdings are probably invested in vehicles that already minimises DWT, but I am not sure if the same could be said for the ETFs with European/ Indonesian/Germany holdings.
Appreciate any comments/insights!
