Portfolio Overview #1
Welcome to the inaugural edition of Rookie. In this first issue, we'll be sharing our investment strategies, crypto portfolio and stock market portfolios
Portfolio Strategy And Investment Approach:
We’re both long-term passive investors: we depend on advice we can trust so we don’t need to spend hours on research.
We both sit on the moderately aggressive level of the risk scale - because we’re experimenting and learning.
Index Thesis Strategy:
After a year of investing, both of our perspectives have evolved - we now favour ETFs and index funds for their numerous benefits.
A long-term outlook
Simplicity in approach
Passive management style
Lower risk for potentially higher returns
What is an ETF/Index Fund?
ETFs and index funds are quite similar. Think of them as mini versions of an entire pizza, where each slice represents a different industry. By choosing ETFs or index funds, you essentially own a small portion of each company within the fund.
