I've checked their investments thus far as per latest set of results. Apple, Amazon, Admiral Group, Daimler,Facebook, Walt Disney, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Pandora A/S and Nike. Really? You want to pay a management fee for that!? You can get almost exactly the same exposure via DBX World or other overseas ETFs at much cheaper fees. Sure, they've mentioned their intention to limit the above type stock selection to 60%, but so far I'm unimpressed. In theory, 60% of their fees are for 'lazy' stock selections that can be replicated by much cheaper ETF's. So you're gonna pay a massive premium for outperformance on the remaining 40%? Based on what? IMHO the people involved have no proven track record with regards to overseas stocks. I'll wait and monitor their performance for a few years before deciding whether to invest or not. What else are you investing in? Hope? Let's see who turns out to be right. We can compare the performance of DBX World and Astoria (after fees) over the next few years. If I'm wrong, I'll humbly apologise (but I don't think I will be).
