Hi all
New to this forum, had a quick couple of questions. Thinking of investing in the Vanguard Total World Index (-US) through the ASX and wanting to make sure I figure out all I need to be aware of before doing so:
(a) Is ANZ Share and Bond Trading a reasonable choice of broker? I think they trade through E-Chess. Are there better options for ASX trading?
(b) I gather that the FIF rules don't apply to the first $50K invested, and there are tax treaties in place between AU and NZ to avoid double-taxation of dividends / capital gains?
(c) Other than that, I just need to be aware of foreign currency risk AU-NZ and AU-US? Is that right?
Thanks in advance for any input.
