Low-cost, broad-based ETFs serve as essential building blocks for this, allowing investors to spread their risk across various assets. Specific ETFs like AAA, A200, and NDQ provide targeted exposure to different sectors, such as high-interest cash, the Australian market, and the NASDAQ 100, facilitating a strong core portfolio. By leveraging such ETFs, investors can ensure a balanced approach to wealth accumulation.
