Ask HN: Investments

My primary investment is in Australian residential property, secondary is broad index funds (Vanguard ETFs), third is cash. I don't trade stocks, it's too much like gambling IMO.

I've been looking into Vanguard ETFs recently but it looks like the quarterly dividends don't even make up for inflation. The total stock market ETF is paying about $2 yearly at a market price of around $125.

What specific index funds do you invest in?

The gain is expected from capital growth, not dividends.
