Episode description

Welcome to part 2 of our 4 part exploration of the power of index ETFs. We may have written a book on them, but we still think index ETFs are under-appreciated.

Over four episodes we'll be discussing why indexes:

• Ensure you don't miss out on growth
• Offer income without the hassle (this episode)
• Cut your losers, double-down on your winners
• Are designed to last forever

In this episode we're taking a closer look at the income paid by index ETFs, and why they offer a simple alternative to the hassle and cost of chasing dividend yields from cyclical individual stocks.
