ETFs — or Exchange Traded Funds — are one of the most talked about investing tools of the last two decades, yet most people have no idea what they actually are or how they work. This episode breaks it all down from scratch.
An ETF is a basket of assets — stocks, bonds, commodities — that trades on a stock exchange just like a regular share. Instead of picking one company to invest in, you buy a slice of hundreds at once. That's the power of an ETF.
Even a small difference in annual fees — say 0.1% versus 0.5% — can cost you tens of thousands over a lifetime of investing thanks to the power of compound interest. Mike breaks down the numbers so you can see exactly what you're giving away.
Anyone who has ever heard the word ETF and wanted to understand it properly. No prior investing knowledge required — just curiosity and 20 minutes of your time.
