🌟🌟🌟10 years is a Decade, a long time in investing.  If I can only choose 10 stocks/ETFs and keep them  for 10 years, it would be as follows:

1.$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ 

SPY tracks the S&P500 index and is the largest ETF by market capitalisation with USD 480.5 billion in assets under management.  SPY is also the most liquid and the oldest US listed ETF with an inception date of January 22 1993.  In just 1 trade I gain access to 500 of the largest and strongest US companies including the Magnificent 7.  The Magnificent 7 were star performers in 2023.  They are $Apple(AAPL)$  Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Tesla and Meta Platforms. 

Last year, SPY rose 24% and rallied to a new all time high of USD 470.10 on December 13 2023.  This is very impressive considering the inflation, recession and global worries we experienced in 2023.

2.  $Invesco QQQ Trust(QQQ)$ 

tracks the Nasdaq100 Index.  QQQ had an excellent 2023 as it has risen by 51% due to the stellar performance of Big Tech. 

3. $VANGUARD INTL EQUITY INDEX FUND INC TOTAL WORLD STK INDEX FUND ETF SHS(VT)$ .  

VT covers both stocks in developed and emerging markets with total of 4594 holdings.   VT has USD 31.5 billion in Assets Under Management.  VT has risen 19.4% from USD 86.19 in December 2022 to USD 102.88 in December 2023.  It only has an expense ratio of 0.07%.  VT pays quarterly dividends.  The current dividend yield is 2.12%.

4. $SPDR Portfolio S&P 1500 Composite Stock Market ETF(SPTM)$

SPTM  tracks the S&P1500 Index and covers the entire US market from small, medium to large stocks. 

5. XLP Consumer Staples SPDR ETF

XLP tracks a market cap weighted index of consumer staples stocks drawn from the S&P500. In just 1 trade I gain access to the best Consumer Staples stocks. They include Proctor & Gamble, Costco, Coca Cola, Pepsico, Walmart and many others.  Total number of holdings is 39.

The expense ratio is 0.10%.  The dividends are paid quarterly.  The current dividend yield is 2.62%.

XLP is impervious to economic cycles as consumer staples is a defensive sector. 

6. XLV Health care Sector ETF 

XLV tracks the health care stocks within the S&P500.  It includes the best health care stocks like Eli Lilly,   United Health, Johnson & Johnson, Merck and many others.  Total number of holdings is 65.  The expense ratio is 0.10%.  Dividends are paid quarterly.  The current dividend yield is 1.57%.

Healthcare is an essential service and set to grow exponentially in the future especially in the US as the population ages. 

7.  SPDW Developed World Ex US ETF

SPDW tracks the performance of a market cap weighted of developed stocks located outside of US.  In just 1 trade, I gain access to the best performing stocks like Novo Nordisk, NestlΓ© SA, Samsung Electronics, ASML Holding, Toyota Motor, Shell, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton and many others.

Total number of holdings is 2437.  The Top 10 weightage is 11%.  SPDW has a low expense ratio of only 0.03%.  Dividends are paid every 6 months.  The current dividend yield is 2.78%.

SPDW provides a great diversification for excellent stocks listed outside of the US. 

8.  TLT  iShares 20+ year Treasury Bond ETF

TLT tracks a market weighted index of debt issued by the US Treasury with remaining maturities of 20 years or more.  This is a great ETF for investors who want a long term Treasury exposure.  The expense ratio is 0.15%.  The current dividend yield is 4.65% paid monthly. 

Bond prices have an inverse relationship with interest rates.  This means that if the Feds cut interest rates in 2024, bond prices are expected to go up.  So TLT is a great ETF to hold should that happen. 

9.  IOZ iShares Core S&P/ASX 200 ETF 

IOZ offers a low cost access to the 200 largest companies trading on the ASX in a single ETF.  IOZ tracks the S&P/ASX 200 Index and includes $BHP GROUP LTD(BHP.AU)$  

$COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRAL(CBA.AU)$  

CSL, National Australia Bank, Westpac Banking, ANZ Group, Macquarie Group, Wesfarmers, Woodside Energy and many others.  

The management fee is 0.05%.  Dividends are pays quarterly.  The current dividend yield is 3.9%.

10. $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$  

offers exposure to the Top 30 blue chips stocks trading in the Straits Times Index.  It includes the Big 3 Singapore banks DBS, OCBC, UOB as well as Singtel, Jardine Matheson, Capitaland Ascendas Reit, Capitaland Integrated Commercial Trust and Keppel. 

The Top 10 weightage is 69%.  The expense ratio is 0.30%.

The dividends are  paid every 6 months.   The current dividend yield is 4%.

ETFs are a great way to gain a diversified portfolio of stocks at a low cost.  ETFs also minimises my risk in investing single stocks.  These 10 ETFs form my core portfolio that I can slowly dollar cost average and watch the magic of compounding happen over time. 

As the legendary Charlie Munger likes to say The Big Money is not in the Buying and Selling but in the Waiting. 

It's Patience and Time in the Market that count, not timing the market.
