Favorite Piece of Advice

  • You don't need to be an expert to start investing; you just need to start (Stop Waiting, Start Investing!).
  • A low-cost global fund held for years will outperform most people trying to be clever and 'beat the market' - and it's likely all you need.
  • Time in the market beats timing it, so stop waiting for the "perfect" moment. The highest cost isn't picking the wrong fund; it's sitting on the sidelines while your money loses value to inflation.
