Why did you choose HERO and ESPO? They are very similar and hold many of the same companies. See [https://www.etfrc.com/funds/overlap.php](https://www.etfrc.com/funds/overlap.php) They are not the most expensive niche ETFs, nor are they cheap. Their parent companies are neither giants nor gnats, and both have been around for several years, so as gaming ETFs go, they are both solid choices (given that they are narrow niches and expensive).
Curious as to why you ruled out IVRS, GGME and FMET, three ETFs that are cheaper and/or hold more companies? Asking because I concluded that even though family and friends seem to spend quite a bit of time and money on the biggest companies that all of these funds invest in, I really don't understand the gaming market, so curious to hear why you (as a gamer?) thought ESPO and HERO (and not others) were desirable.
My only other comment is to note that VUG and QQQM are highly correlated, so when one goes up the other will also go up. Video games will surely zag similarly. Wonder if you might put 10% of VUG into the S&P (VOO or SPLG) or even SPMO to bring in at least a few value stocks, or invest in GDE which would give you exposure to both the S&P 500 and gold futures as a hedge for decades when growth might not predominate.

SPMO/IDMO are slept on alllll the time

I would get rid of IVV and keep SPMO + SPHQ. That’s what I do for my large cap. But I believe in factor-weighting over market cap weighting.

Stick to VTI, drop the QQQM and SPMO. 80/20 VTI VXUS is a good simple portfolio. Simplicity is key.

I started a Roth in Robinhood and they recommended the same funds, but different percentages. I've adjusted the level of SPMO up bit and removed SPHQ. As has been mentioned, depending upon age, that much BND may not be right for you. Mine is like 5%, and I think because of the bull market, it's the only one of the funds that is negative YTD for me. I've been pretty pleased with the mix so far. May make some adjustments next year.

IVV tracks the S&P500 just like VOO. You don’t need VOO. You’re also complicating your portfolio with SPMO and SPHQ. I would combine these into IVV.
BND is 26%. Let this be determined by your age and risk tolerance. Personally, I wouldn’t hold this much until I’m 50, but that’s my own risk tolerance. I follow age-25=bonds. I’ll retire at 65 with a 60/40 portfolio and de-risk along the way.
VEA + VWO is good ~ 20% international. If you want simplicity, convert them to VXUS. Personal preference on how to want to weight emerging markets.
VB small cap tilt is okay, but at 5%, I’d rather just replace all 3 S&P500 funds and VB with VTI. I would suggest looking at AVUV - small cap value - and doing a 10% tilt.
Final portfolio: IVV 45%, AVUV 10%, VEA 15%, VWO 5%, and BND 25%. Adjust BND and IVV based on age risk tolerance. This is a more simple setup. For more simplicity, look at replacing VEA + VWO with VXUS.

Not sure if this is for the dividend sub. As different paths for people with different needs.
But as a starting point. Look at total returns over 3mo, 6mo, 1 yr, 3 yr, 5 yr and 10 yr (if available).
Some worth a look are SPLG, SPMO, SCHG, VONG.
Also from pure dividend MSTY but it’s a bit controversial so due your diligence in research.

SPMO (momentum fund)
SCHG (growth fund)

For starters this is all way too complicated, and I can tell by most of these funds that you're trying to perform its chase so just be careful about that I'm not saying it's wrong I'm not saying it's right but just be mindful. I would make something like Vu your core and then add a little bit of rest with either SCHG or SPMO

I agree, and advised OP to be somewhat aggressive with Sp500 and SPMO. No bonds. 15-20 years to touchdown - this isn’t outlandish, IMO.

Hi team - done lots of backtesting and thinking... I want aggressive growth but not gambling. I don't want voo and chill that is boring. Would like at least a shot at being the market with luck on my side.

After looking at many complex mixes and enough different tickets to lose my mind this is what I settled on.... trying to keep it simple with 3 ETF's with not much overlap. Im 32.
SPHQ 50%, SPMO 40%, QQQM 10%

SPMO invests in the top 100 momentum companies from the sp500. SPHQ invests in the top 100 quality. I invest in those two instead of VOO because I prefer quality and momentum. Quality creates stability and momentum follows the best recent performers. The two funds combined will cut out the poor performers and companies with poor financials. So it’s like taking the crème from the top of the SP500. That’s how I prefer to invest but I’m sure many will disagree. It’s more concentrated so it adds more risk. However, SPHQ has a risk rating of 68 versus VOO’s 72, which is almost as low as SCHD, yet has outperformed the market in the last 10 years.

So are you saying that a mix of SPHQ + SPMO is pretty much the same as VOO? thanks
