Beginners often ask us:
- How do I reach my goals – What investments do I need to take into consideration when e.g. Taking a Sabbatical, buying a House or saving for Early Retirement?
- When should I invest – I fear that investing a lump sum in this market may have a negative impact on my returns. How can timing of buying ETFs affect my performance?
Advanced investors may avoid costly mistakes:
- Challenge my Portfolio – Here is my portfolio – what am I missing? What could derail my strategy? What can I do to protect my portfolio from shocks?
- Help me quickly understand – What makes Inflation Linked Bonds outperform? Bond Ladder or Bond ETFs? Why do some investors add Small Cap Value stocks to their portfolios? How can I exclude Tobacco companies from my portfolio? Are the synthetic ETFs I screened safe? What is Factor Investing?
