'Should I switch global ETF?' - this is one of the common questions I receive.
For most people, you probably don't need to.
But if you are thinking about it, there's a few things to consider. Including: fees, spreads, platform availability and one 'GIA tax trap' that could wipe out any savings.
We break it all down in this video and there's a checklist at the end that you can use to see whether it's worth you switching!

Tom from @TomTalksInvesting joined me on this podcast episode to talk about what on earth is going on in the markets.
We get into the state of the economy, both here in the UK and globally, and what it all actually means for your money.
Tom also walks me through how he runs his own portfolio, including going through his strategy with individual stocks and crypto.
And we dig into the biggest lessons we've both picked up along the way.

I forgot to mention the ticker symbols, so I put them on screen at 5:56. These are the ticker symbols for the GBP-listed ETFs.
The main caveat with all of this is that these two ETFs are brand new.
As a result, they are likely to have higher spread fees, they currently have a relatively small amount of assets under management (AUM) and they have a lack of track record - so we don't know how well the ETFs will track the underlying index.
But - overall it's still great that we are getting lower and lower fees for global ETFs!
