  1. Sorry I'm a newbie to Trading 212, How do you find Toby's pie, I can see all of the top pies and the new pies and I can scroll down hundreds of pies but how do you search for Own the World.

  2. Thank you. We need more financial education in this country.

    I’m just starting my journey, and I should’ve started a long time ago.

    Is Freetrade a good platform to use? Or do you recommend trading 212?

  3. Interested to know why you’d go for the Vanguard Global All Cap Index Fund at 0.23% when the HSBC fund is available at 0.13% which has marginally outperformed the Vanguard fund over the last 5 years? Is it because you’re locked into Vanguard?

  4. Hi Toby, New to investing but not saving! If I invest a lump sum into a S/S ISA, do I still get to choose where to invest or are you limited to that companies portfolio? Would you advise spreading the lump sum across several ETFs or just choose one?

  5. So for 1 pie could it be 1 index funds or better to make it 1 pie with multiple index funds? If i create my own pie and not use a model do I still have to pay for a total expense ratio? TER

  6. Hi Toby. Great videos. I am new to Stocks and Shares ISAs and your videos have really helped. However, I opened a HL S&I in December and started investing there. This is before I discovered your videos. Is it worth switching over to Trading 212 and how easy is the process? Alternatively, am I better waiting until the new tax year? Thanks! James

  7. Can anyone help with ethical investing? I want to start investing in index funds but avoid non-renewable energy, weapons. The standard world or S&P index funds all include these. I would try to make a pie of same companies less those few I don't want but don't know how to do this? thanks

  8. IMHO one of the best things about index funds is they reconstitute occasionally removing poor performing companies. A market weighted index allows you to invest in the best companies in the world. We're 60% total US market and 30% total international stocks the last few years since 2007. I'm not a bond investor. The balance is cash in high yield savings and a small amount of bitcoin. It does take a while to figure out the risk level you can tolerate and the discipline to invest every month without having to think about or pay attention to whatever markets are doing. Thanks for the authenticity and prudent advice. You're doing a great service to the next generation that follow you.

  9. You usually use invest engine quite alot. Have you also decided they aren't great? Pity as they don't support transfers out. I moved everything from HL to invest engine for my ETFs and have found i dont like them (and its dodgy that they dont support transfers out). 212 is way better.

  10. Hi Toby, thanks for your videos, super informative, I’ve used your referral to sign up to Trading 212 today! I have a question about currency, am I better off opening a $ bank account where I can then trade in $, or do you do everything in £ and don’t find the $ to £ conversion an issue? I have invested in the S&P 500 and someone told me to be wary of the exchange rate so I was just wondering if you have an opinion on this as google wasn’t so helpful! Thanks so much!

  11. Happy new year Toby can I ask a question 
    if you invested 10k in S&P index fund or 
    if you invest 1k in each Top 10 from S&P so 10k 
    which would make more profit ? Thanks in advance for reply

  12. I’m trying to decide on which investing platform to use, I’d almost settled on InvestEngine but then saw this video and trading 212 isn’t a platform I had looked into. I compared costs on Vanguard, AJ bell, Hargreaves lansdown & InvestEngine before making my decision.
    Just wondered your thoughts Toby on the various platforms. Apologies if you have a separate video on this but I’ve just found your channel so not looked through all your content yet

  13. The problem is the more knowledgeable we become we tend to add more shares, funds, ETF's etc and the majority do not sell the older because why sell the ones doing well and the dogs may break even at some point in the future is I think the thought process for many people.

  14. Hey Toby, nice video. I had a question. I have around £10,000 free that I can used, not my emergency funds. Would it be a bad idea to invest this in the S&P 500 as a lump sum? Or would I be better off just putting this in slowly? Thanks

  15. I have been curious about putting a small amount of my money into bitcoin (only a small amount that I won’t be upset over losing). Anyways i posted this on Reddit and said I was also looking to invest in index funds, all the bitcoiners jumped in to say how daft I was being by doing that and how I should be putting more in bitcoin and holding on to it forever. They’re very profound about bitcoin aren’t they.

  16. Best investing Channel on You Tube, and believe me I watch a lot of them, no bull, no click bait crap, etc etc and for anyone who’s new to investing or thinking about doing it then this is the guy to follow.

  17. Great video, just one question, when it comes to ETF's I currently invest in 4 which overlap each other in some way (VUAG, VWRP, DFNG, HUKX) and I also invest into the big 7 in a separate pie. My question is am i making a stupid decision or not? I'm new to investing and spent hours watching these videos trying to learn.

  18. Toby – one thing worth adding may be that when the stock market is down (as we all know it will rise sometime) you actually get better value for your monthly investment. I know I look to see if the graphs are on a falling curve when my money drops in. It means I get more shares for the same investment.

  19. Great informative video, Toby. Many Thanks for your guidance. Can you plz suggest an investment strategy for a self-employed person in her 40s to invest in a minimum of £100-200/month with less fees and possible gains over a period of 5/10 years max ? ETFs/NS&I/SIPP

  20. Appreciating the videos Toby, investing is all very new to me, trying to understand when it comes to a stocks and shares isa why someone would choose that over just investing in a straight index fund or etf, im UK based if that makes a difference. Still getting around everything. Thanks

  21. Thanks for a great video Toby, really helped me build the confidence to start my own investing journey. 🙂
    Just wondering though, If I max out my ISA and I still wanna invest in more ETFs (either the same I have been or different ones) will I then have to create an investment account (trading 212) and be subjected to tax?
    Ideally, I'd like to just pile all my money into that one portfolio I created in my stocks and shares ISA but doesn't seem like you could?
    just wondering if that is right, thanks again. 🙂

  22. Thanks Tony, a great motivation. I've been doing this since November and am hooked 🙂

    The only difficultly I've battled with on Trading 212, is setting up a Standing Order. One-off payments are easy, but I wanted to automate for money to move monthly, from my Current Account to S&S ISA . I should reiterate, it's not setting up how much and when to invest monthly, but to set up a Standing Order, which needs their Account No' and Sort Code.

    I didn't find much help on the App or website.

    Any chance you can cover this ?

    Regards Andrew

  23. Something to note. I have a friend who didn’t want to start investing because I suggested trading 212. And he thought the name sounded like a solely day trading platform and knew enough about investing to know trading is similar to gambling.
