How do we determine the buy price of an ETF?

When buying ETF, specifically S&P, You are aiming for market average return.

​

Inorder to get an average return, you need to continously buy in regardless of market condition, DCA, else you wont get that avg return.

​

But you may make use of sector rotation strategy, using sector ETFs to increase your gain.

​

However, S&P should still be your core. Because you will outperform and underperform the market over the years. With S&P as your major holding, even when you underperform, u would deviate too much from the average.

Humble contrarian view: by not trying to determine a good price at all. My view is that ETFs should not be bought dependent on any price limits or value parameters.

The safest bet (f ex for stock etfs) seems a globally diversified ETF, like ISAC or SWRD, price is unimportant. When the ETF is selected it should be DCA'ed in.

​

The important parameters for selecting etfs howevee are: well considered allocation (countries, sectors), large AUM, lowest TER, physical replication, if possible no securities lending, UCITS types where possible.
