Top 5 Growth ETFs:
#1 VT, by owning ONE share of VT, you own the entire, world. You will own every single publicly traded company from US stocks to International stocks and your money will match what the world is doing. So if you believe the world is going to be a better place 30 years from now, this might be a good option to consider. Since this fund was created, it has returned an average of 5.7% which is good, but not quite as good as the US stock market which has historically done 7%. Pro tip: you can own something like 55% VTI, and 45% VXUS and that’s basically VT but slightly cheaper.
#2 QQQ, a VERY popular investment. Today, the hot sector is technology. This ETF is very tech heavy that follows the NASDAQ. You’ll own more than 100 companies. We’re in the age of technology, and this boom can continue for many decades, or it could end this year. Generally speaking, sector dominance is usually temporary or cyclical. It has a beta at 1.13, which means it’s more volatile than the general stock market.
#3 ARKK, it’s sort of like QQQ, except this is much more aggressive and it’s considered an actively managed ETF which means someone is spending day and night looking for stocks to buy versus just passively following an index. Because of that, you have to the human for doing that at .75% or 75 dollars for every 10,000 you invest here. This fund specifically is run by Cathie Wood who looks specifically at disruptive technologies and tries to outperform the market. In the last year alone, ARK has made 65% returns. The Beta for this is 1.47 which means it’s a little more volatile than your average stock.
#4 VOO, a passive ETF that looks at the 500 biggest companies in the US and that’s what it invests in. There’s not much more to say about it other than its closest sibling would be SDY or SPY. SPY was the FIRST ETF to have ever been created in 1993 and it’s another good option to consider because it’s also got a "cooler" ticker symbol which actually may have a positive affect on how it performs according to some studies.
#5 VTI, owning VTI means that every single working person and every single CEO is working super hard to make you money. You can literally walk into any store in America, pick up an item for sale and say “I own this”. But you actually don’t, so don’t do that or you’ll get in trouble. PRO tip: If you buy VOO or VTI consistently, you can set yourself up for the rest of your life. Put in 80% into VTI or VOO, and If you want to “smooth the ride” as JL Collins says, you can add the other 20% into VBTLX for your bonds.
#5 NOBL. If dividend aristocrats can have their own ETF, this is it. In order for a company to be included in this ETF, it has to have increased dividend payments for 25 years or more. It only has a 2.2% dividend yield but with that yield comes a good dividend growth rate of 12% in the last 5 years. With this ETF, you’re going to sacrifice a lot of growth for stability, which for some people is more important than the yield. The expense ratio is very expensive in relation to it’s yield but if you’re older, you may want to consider adding this one.
#4 SCHD, the Charles Schwab US Dividend ETF, with a yield of around 3.44%, super low expense ratio of $6 for every 10,000 invested, it’s cheap to own, and it has grown in value which is what we want to see. It has increased dividends 10% in the last 5 years, and 20% in the last year which is awesome. It pays us quarterly, and, it’s an all around solid dividend ETF.
#3 VIG, the only companies that are in this fund are companies that have increased their dividends for 10 years or more. The dividend yield is pretty small at 1.81% but what it lacks in dividends, it makes up in growth.
#2 VYM, with a current dividend yield of 3.5%, it has returned around 6.7% since it was created, with a super low expense ratio of .06%, it also pays us quarterly from owning 428 stocks, so you will be very diversified. A very good dividend ETF that I’d like to own a lot more of.
#1 SPHD, it has a dividend yield of 5.5%, an expense ratio of .3% (which is expensive) but it pays monthly. Let me know if I missed your favorites!

What about Blockchain ETFs? I would like to know your ideas. Cheers.
I wonder US americans do not talk often about MSCI World or FTSE All-World. These ETFs are very popular in Germany.
The names of your ETFs I have never heard before in my life 😀
But your videos are awsome.

Honestly receive €5,350 after investing €500, within 5 days of trading, is something I never expected. Thanks for putting smile on my face
I am new to online investments or stock trading, I have been trying to practice using a demo accounts, but I am scared that I don’t know enough to start trading all by myself. What to do? I don’t wanna loose money trying to trade when I am not sure if I can do it.
My advice, Miranda please look her up on the internet, there should be a website with her correct details.
Investment is that tiny line that separates the rich from the poor. The wise from others. I can proudly say I am wise because I knew when to investment and even in the worst days I can provide for my family through my investments.
I believe the pandemic has taught everyone the importance of having multiple stream of income, unfortunately having a nice paying job doesn’t mean you are financial secured.
Great stuff, well explained. As a beginner, nothing beats engaging a professional stock broker in your trades, I made my first big profits in the stock market with no prior experience, I was introduced to a professional stock broker that assisted me in achieving so much. Her name is JOANNA MARIA JERVIS, I will recommend her to beginners for all types of investment. Avoid running losses trading on your own.
Many see forex as a get rich scheme but forex is not like that, it’s a gradual process with the right tools and application you can make a living from forex trading..
A friend that I erred to Mr Dylan J Mason just received $7,050 profit after 15 days of investing….I became jealous.. lol
Would you rather achieve consistent Bitcoin trading profits week after week, months after months or you want a huge profit for to lose it at the next month.
13th winnings thanks to Mr Dylan J Mason
I am very satisfied with the growth on my investment and the outstanding professional assistance from Dylan J Mason , the fee structure is, if not the best, one of the best in the industry. Every request is dealt with promptly and most impressive is that whatever concerns I have relevance of my environment or the relevance of my investment mix, a professional is just an email away. I can confidently refer any sophisticated investors Dylan J Mason
He’s the key to Crypto

Aidan Krautner Making money online is not just to invest blindly or rush into market as its best advertised to ensure your on the right track on the right time I so much believe cryptocurrency is worth going into at the moment mostly as the make is bullish trend,,Bitcoin is now trading above 11k in USD,this is the time to buy and trade rather than hodling,we can take full advantage to make money if you find the right strategy/daily signals.for me bitcoin trading has been so successful because I get involved in a day trading and follow strategy and signals provided by a pro trader known as Harrison wells.Wells strategy/signals has yield a great success so far for me,During my first month of trading I was able to grow my portfolio from 1.2btc to total of 6.8btc which you will say is a very good profit,no time is ever too late to start buying and grow a very strong portfolio ahead of the major bull market,Wells can be reach on whatspp(+14694451386) for inquiries into profitable trading system
Being able to work because you WANT to, and not because you HAVE makes all the difference!
When your side hustles make more money than your job you’ll be on your path to financial freedom🙌🏿
Thanks Lisa +1 (803) 566-0697
I I’m so glad to be able to make it through the help of Lisa I actually invested into her platform and I have been earning a whole lot ever since
@Marlene Dietrich
thanks for sharing this,God bless you! it is impressive what I read about her online and her resume is pretty sophisticated, shows she was active during the last bear market. I hope she replies me, she seems a busy woman.
@Dr Frank Hutchinson exactly. you can invest in index funds as a beginner all you want but it will get you no where close to achieving milestones set for yourself as opposed to consulting an advisor to get you desired results, is why I took the route of consulting, i was assigned a professional, Ms Lisa Jill Grenell in MN, working with Merrill Lynch she has a series 7 license. You can look her up online, She has a website, leave a message or call. I cant speak on my income but I am doing better than I was investing on my own. I am reaching for better 6 figures.
I recently got into stocks and have been researching and building a good understanding of fundamental analysis and value/growth investing. My question is: why can’t I just follow the investment advice of a well established analyst who has spent years mastering his craft? Even if I do due diligence and above, I will probably never gain an understanding of stocks that of people who are analysts for a living.
Love what you’re doing man! I watch all of your video’s & you’ve taught me so much about investing, the way thing’s truly work & the way I should go about my investment portfolio. I knew nothing about dividends, ETF investing, all that, I was mainly a day trader so a BIG THANK YOU!
Great information! I never knew there were so many different ETFS but appreciate how you made all the information so concise and eye-pleasing. Loving the content as always man!
Hey Andre.. thank you for making such an amazing and inspiring content.
Question- I see most of the big company with P/E ratio above 15..mostly between.25 – 30. . Even though the economy is bad. Do you think these shares will lead to a plunge later.
I have heard you and Graham mention, our ‘yearly return’ . How would you calculate it ?. Avg the dividends or share value growth ?
Start mining Pi, the cryptocurrency will be launched this year, and once it does, you won’t be able to mine anymore. You don’t need graphics cards you only need your phone, which is cloud mining. It doesn’t consume battery. It’s on coinmarketcap in the untracked listing. On the marketplace, there are already transactions for a value of $100 approx and when you just download the app you mine at 0.25 pis/hour. Use my code as an invitation.
Code: Chutsky
Download the app Pi network.
SCHD and DGRO are two of the largest ETFs in my portfolio. I think they go well together as the backbone of a conservative dividend portfolio.
I have been investing like 40 percent of my income because of you my dude. I appreciate what you are doing by making people realize how easy it is to invest. Then more people do which then makes stocks do better as a beautiful outcome. I am 23 years old. And I’ve put in 18,000 dollars so far this year between VOO, AAPL, and MSFT! Thanks for the advice man. Imma chase this dream. I’d rather get the chunk done while I’m this young so I can chill when I’m 40
Love ur vids as a beginning investor it seemed so daunting but man ur magic and explanations have got me excited to do dividend research and expand my knowledge of what I thought was possible to do with my money.
Your videos are amazing Andrei!! Between the magic tricks and smart investing tips, you are definitely my to go channel for fun finance!
thanks Chris!
Been following you for roughly a year now, thoroughly enjoy your sense of humour! Keep up the great work and may you keep moving from strength to strength 💪
I wish I had seen a video like this sooner. I went for NRZ and Viper energy because they had a double digits dividend, a lower p/e, and seems to have a fair dividend history but they have tanked hard and don’t show signs of recovering fully yet. Meanwhile my lower dividend payers around 2-3% have served me well through the year.
I’ve been unsure about the market due to volatility, at the same time I still feel it’s the right time to make profit cos of the price decrease, heard someone speaking of making over $300k from a $180k capital since the pandemic and I’m driven to ask what techniques/skillset is needed to achieve this.
@Jack Jacob me too with just ETFs and no SCAM xD
Thanks Lisa +1 (803) 566-0697
Manager Lisa has really helped me achieve a lot during this pandemic I made about 60k just within a short period of time and I I’m so happy to be part of her platform
Luck xD
Thanks for posting, Andrei. This video couldn’t have come at a better time. I just maximized my IRA contribution for the 2019 tax year and want to put those funds in ETFs. I was only looking at about 3 to 4 of the ETFs you mentioned in the video but your video provides more ETF options which means I don’t have to spend more time finding other ETFs.
Great video! I have VOO in my Vanguard Roth IRA, which is doing great. And I have SPHD and VYMI in my Robinhood dividend portfolio, but now I’m wondering if I should have gone with just VYM instead 🤔
Hey Andrei, love your videos! I watched many and used some of your advice to begin investing in march. As a youngish foreign investor, since dividends are highly taxed for foreigners and i’v got a long investment runway, what sort of ETFs would be a better bet for me if I wanted to DCA my way to retirement? Specifically, im interested in ETFs listed on NASDAQ or NYSE since my platform allows me to buy those.
Thanks for teaching me more about stocks in one video then I’ve learned in my entire HS and college career
