Savings plan for children

Hello! I'm making a deposit for my sister and her children so that they have money when they grow up. I thought about an ETF savings plan at TradeRepublic through a children's portfolio. MSCI world would have been an option for me. Should I pay attention to anything? Do you have any other tips? submitted by /u/Guesdt [link] [comments]

Does it make sense to cancel it and just put everything in the MSCI World and just continue saving there? Or are there other reasons at Swisslife?

Is there an equivalent of this for the Stock Market? I don't want to spend hours upon hours digging though the nitty gritty (no judgement, just not for me). Can I copy another portfolio (like Berkshire or Elon) a

Energy now a focus of US-China contest of the century

Given that control over energy reinforces superpower status, the contest of the century has morphed into an intense rivalry between China, a rising “electrostate”, and the United States, the world’s hydrocarbon hegemon safeguarding its position. China recognises that electricity drives its economy. Despite being a major producer of coal, crude oil and natural gas, China remains an importer of these hydrocarbons. However, with strategic patience, through its five-year plans, the country has been.

Hypothetically if you were holding close to infinitely, would VOO or QQQ be the move?

I'm in my 20s and wouldnt be touching this money for a very long time, for 25+ years. Wouldnt be touching them no matter how low they go.

Would be able to tolerate significant market volatility in this case. submitted by /u/Clubpenguin8888 [link] [comments]
