But instead of 200 little dividends coming through the year, they collect it and you'll usually have two to four

distributions each year from being an owner of one of these ETFs.

Yes.

So we're not investing in ETS for any of our short to medium term goals.

This is something we're doing for a 5, 10, 20 year time period.

Well, we've talked about on the podcast before how BHP ends up being about 10% of your ASX 200 ETF in the case of the others.

And so suddenly $10 in your $100 investment is weighted towards BHP.

So the MVW ETF is different in the fact that it's

I guess more diversified in the fact that you're not suddenly waiting 10% to BHP.

It's probably in there as close to 1%.

I can have a look.

Yeah.

And also, investing in MVW does reduce your distribution yield a bit because it's not driven as much by the big banks and BHP that pay quite large dividends every year.

Yeah.

So, if you've invested $100, say, in the IOZ ETF and it has a distribution yield of 6%, that means you might receive around $6 in your bank account each year, but that will be split between about four different payments.

The biggest one is the VAS ETF by Vanguard.

So that's over $12 billion of funds.

So investors like you, me, your super fund, your institutional big investors have invested over $12 billion into that ETF.

Yeah.

So, I mean, this number is a bit tricky because I was picking the since inception numbers and they all started at very different times.
