In this episode, we’re going to introduce you to your new investing best friend, Exchange Traded Funds, or ETFs, as you’ll come to know them. ETFs are a great investment option for new and experienced investors and are an easy way to build a low-cost and diversified portfolio with just a few trades.
They’re simple, they work, and you don’t need to be a financial wizard to get your head around them. Investing can be as easy as opening up a brokerage account, picking a low-cost, diversified ETF and buying small parcels frequently over a long period of time.
ETFs can be your entire portfolio or just the core, but they instantly open the world of investing to you. They have changed how we invest and simplified the often complex world of finance. So, in this episode, we talk about exactly why we’re so keen on ETFs, how they work and how you can use them to invest.
