Hey everyone,
I've been closely following this subreddit lately as I've decided to invest some of my savings from my Italian bank account. I'm looking into a long-term investment strategy, possibly spanning 5 to 10 years. I've noticed that many people here recommend SPY or VT, but I'm quite new to ETFs and would appreciate your advice:
1) Besides SPY or VT, are there other ETFs I should consider, or perhaps diversify with a small percentage of crypto or another asset?
2) I currently reside in Zurich with a B permit. Should I start filing taxes next year due to this?
3) I've been investing through CSX (around 1K/month) using their "most risky" CSX invest plan, but I haven't seen significant gains (1.73% in the last year). Would you recommend withdrawing and moving the funds to IBKR as well?
4) Is it worthwhile to open a 3rd pillar account too? I've never quite grasped if it's advantageous as an expat, especially since I hope to return to Italy someday. If yes do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your insights.
