BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Is your portfolio diversified, or just complicated?
Jess is only five months into investing and she’s already got seven ETFs and a stock. What is each investment actually adding? She’s starting to think maybe she’s overcomplicated things…
Then community member Hamish sent in a question about whether it makes more sense to own one diversified ETF or build a portfolio from several ETFs. Jess took it as a sign to get back to basics.
So she sits down with financial adviser Glen Hare to unpack how to think about building an ETF portfolio, including
- How many ETFs is too many?
- How to spot overlap between ETFs
- What you gain, and give up, by keeping things simple
- Three example approaches: one diversified ETF, Australian + global ETFs, and a portfolio built across different regions
