🌱 ETF investing crash course [ETF mini-series part 1]

Welcome to our ETF investing mini-series: a 5-part podcast series, aimed at building your confidence when it comes to researching, comparing and building an ETF portfolio. Over the course of 5 podcast episodes, we’ll cover the basics of ETF investing you need to know about, and give you the tools to figure out what type of ETF you’re looking for, and how to research and compare them. Plus we’ll give you an overview of what you need to know about how to buy ETFs and managing them on an ongoing basis. ETFs are a great investment option for both new and experienced investors, and make it easy 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. So, in this episode Kate & Owen talk about exactly why we’re so keen on ETFs, how they work and how you can use them to invest.
