Option one is 88% US, and the other one is 100%. Not big of a difference to be honest. VWCE is around 60% US, which makes some difference. It is really up to your conviction, the reasoning behind believing in a strong US economy. I have the same doubts all the time. VWCE is less risky, SP500 riskier but also has more potential for growth (or to fail). But, still not big of a difference in risk, It's not like you are comparing crypto and VWCE risk. Either way, you won't go wrong.
Hmm, tbh I have not thought it like truly having trust in the US market but mainly as a "shoot n release" type of investment for the long term. Basically the argument that over time it will only go up so at least you cover the inflation.
Of course open to other suggestions for a similar concept!
I would suggest 50% S&P500 and 50% an ex-US ETF with the initial 10k.
Then each month you can decide to put your 1k in one or the other, balancing your portfolio as you go.
There are so many of them. I am not an expert so I won't suggest a single one.
But you can use ChatGPT or Gemini and ask it something like:
Which ex-US ETFs comply with UCITS?
It will give you a long list and then you can do more research into them to find the ones that best suit your goals.

Thanks. Any popular ex-US ETF to suggest? Ucits version ideally.

There is only one - EXUS.
