The Simple ETF Portfolio I’m Using to Restart Investing in 2026

In this video, I share the simple ETF portfolio I’m using to restart my investing journey in 2026 after selling all my shares to buy my first home in Australia. After years of investing using a simple VAS and VGS portfolio, I’ve decided to simplify things even further by moving into DHHF as a one-ETF investing strategy. With redundancy approaching after 10 years in IT, rising living costs, and raising a 6-month-old baby girl, I no longer want investing to feel complicated or stressful. In this video, I explain: Why I previously invested in VAS & VGS What VAS and VGS actually are Why diversification matters Why I’m switching to DHHF How Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) works Why simple investing can be powerful long term The importance of automation and consistency This channel is about documenting my real journey rebuilding financially from the ground up as an everyday Australian - sharing the wins, mistakes, lessons, and everything I learn along the way.
