How we would invest our first $5000 today

If we had $5,000 to start our investment portfolio from scratch today, what would we buy? 

We’ve been given that very challenge by Betashares Direct. In this episode we take $5,000 (fully hypothetical dollars- sadly) and break down: 

• Our investing strategy: why it is simpler than you think to get started.
• The steps to start investing with $5000: Setting goals, a time horizon and understanding risk tolerance
• Our hypothetical $5000 portfolios; what we are buying and how we would structure it.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start investing, this episode is for you. Or if you’re interested in how we’d invest if we were starting today, and whether it's any different than when we first started 8 years ago. Either way, it’s a cracking ep.   

Betashares Direct is designed to help self-directed investors build long-term wealth, find out more here.
