Which core ETF should I pick?

Many people like to have a core+satellite approach with their portfolio.

For the past 5 years, the S&P 500 has shown much better returns than the MSCI global index (SWDA) however.

A popular choice for a core ETF is either:

  1. MSCI global index ETF (SWDA)
  2. MSCI global Quality index ETF (XDEQ)
  3. S&P 500 index ETF (VUAA or VNRA)
If we look at the performance over the last 5 years, the S&P 500 ETF VUAA has consistently performed better than the first two ETFs however.
