Hi all,
I live in the UK. The first investment platform is used when I statyed investing was etoro. Etoro let me invest on the US stock exchange so I was allowed to buy etfs like VOO, VTI, etc.
I've just opened a stocks and shares ISA on another platform and I want to invest long term on that one. However, they dont list US ETFs like VOO. What they have is the ishares UK equivalent.
I've had a quick comparison to compare US ETFs with their UK counterparts, eg. XLF vs IUFS and I see that they're not too dissimilar in terms of performance (actually the UK ones tend to outperform the US ones very slightly).
My concern is regarding trading volumes. The UK ETFs have much lower volumes compared to US ones. Should I be worried? Also, since both exchanges open at different times, how do they perform so similarly since the buyers are living in different countries?
Part of me fears of missing out of the bigger US market if I was to buy UK isharsa ETFs.
Thank you all in advance.
