    DIFFERENCES: I want to start with Mutual Funds and why I think they are a mistake to purchase in this day/age. Mutual funds have been around the longest and the biggest identifier of a mutual fund is that it is professionally managed - this is also referred to as ACTIVE management. Stocks that are chosen within a Mutual Fund are chosen by a professional stock manager.
    The fund fees are often higher because well, you have to pay the mutual fund manager to do the work. Typically mutual funds charge 1-2% per YEAR on the amount that you have invested into the mutual fund, which is called their expense ratio.
    Index Funds typically have low fees. Their management style is PASSIVE management. An Index Fund is like a Mutual Fund, but it has no portfolio manager, thus saving you on fees.
    An Index Fund just is constructed to MATCH or TRACK the components of a financial market index, such as the S&P 500. By buying the S&P 500 Index Fund, such as VFIAX, for around $300 you get to own a small percentage of the entire index.
    Index funds seek to match the risk and return of the market, on the theory that in the long-term, the market will outperform any single investment. And
    SO whats an ETF then?
    Well a ETF is still a basket of securities, but its main difference is that it trades on the market so you can buy and sell it throughout the day, an Index Fund however, only trades once per day.
    If you buy an ETF, since it trades like a stock, you’ll still be paying some commissions on it with a typical online broker.
    Since ETFs do trade on the market, you can buy and sell it as you please, which, if you want that flexibility, it’s there. However, I would just recommend buying and holding if you are purchasing an ETF that tracks the market.
    The other difference is that with these online brokerages, you may be able to buy into ETFs using fractional shares - which means if you have $50 you can buy a portion of an ETF, instead where some Index Funds might have a minimum - VFIAX for example has an initial minimum of $3000.
    So which one is right for you?
    Overall, I don’t love Mutual Funds. So with the remaining options - I would say, go with an Index Fund if you can meet the minimums and want a very passive strategy where you don’t want to be involved in your own portfolio, with Index funds you can also automatically reinvest dividends which is super powerful. Buy an ETF if you want to have more control over your own portfolio, and if you want to buy fractionally into them.

    I did the lump sum buy at first, 125k into SCHD, 75k TSLA, 25k VYM, 25K VUG. Now I'm dca buying roughly 2k every week of whatever is on sale, and looking to add more tech positions to my portfolio. I'm looking to hold long term 15 - 20 years, so hopefully my lump sum buy in doesn't bite me in the ass long term.

    ETFs offer exposure to a wide range of assets, such as stocks, bonds, or commodities, which can help reduce risk. ETFs, like broad market index, sector-specific, and bond ETFs, are favored for long-term investments because of their diversification, reducing risk while offering growth and income potential.

    Trying to build your income and prepare for retirement? It’s important to choose stocks that are expected to hold up in inflationary environments. To combat the negative effect of inflation, it’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, since this can help protect your portfolio against inflation. I have seen People making up to $500k in a month during high inflation. You too can do same.

    After a terrible 2022, shell-shocked financial backers have a lot to think about and losses to recover from. An expansion report and a wealth of other data did little to alter assumptions that the Central bank would likely keep raising interest rates regardless of whether the economy slows down. This implies that portfolios will experience more losses during the first quarter of 2023. I'm currently at a crossroads deciding whether to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio; how might the continuous market volatility work to my advantage?

      Nothing wrong with mutual funds. A portfolio of index funds and mutual funds will keep the costs low and give you the benefit of both. There are some mutual funds, for example some of the ones managed by Baillie Gifford that are not much more expensive than index funds and provide a much greater return. I dont agree that all mutual funds are bad maybe you just havent done the research into the best performing ones. Here in the UK its not just picking the right funds but also choosing the necessary accounts to hold them in. For example whether that be in a pension, ISA, Investment Account etc…

Luckily all my expense ratio's are pretty small ranging from 0.04 to 0.65. With that being said, I think I'm gonna pivot to ETF's just to be safe.

      Chris Glazener, 20 years x 6000 dollars a year is 120,000 not counting the interest and your funds increasing over the years, consider putting at least 10% of what you earn into a 401 at work or similar fund that brokerage can set up for you. You need at least $300,000 to retire, $500,000 is a lot better. Don't mean to scare you, but that is your goal. Last year I was treading stocks, and made $6000 into my Roth without putting any money into the account. Keep doing what you are doing and you should do well. Oh something else multiply 3000 dollars x 6% you get $180 a year, you could get 8% some years or more, so compounding works well. Oh a $100,000 x 6% the lowest you should expect is $6000 and you can keep adding the $6000 a year on top of that, and of course no taxes. That's the beauty of the Roth, you can only pull out what you deposited with nor penalty, before 59 1/2.

      @@humphrey I’m new to investing, I have 30k in my Questrade TFSA account looking to invest in 100% VEQT. So all I have to do is buy as many shares I can with my 30k and that’s it? Besides logging in to buy more shares every month for 30+ years, I don’t need to do anything else on my Questrade account? Can I set it and forget it?

    Great video, fantastic job explaining the similarities and differences between these investment options, and I found it very informative.
    I noticed one crucial aspect missing, and that is tax liabilities associated with these investment vehicles. I believe including information about tax implications would greatly benefit your viewers.
    If I remember correctly, one of the key attractions to ETFs, is the tax advantage they offer. Investors in ETFs typically do not have to pay taxes on capital gains until they sell their shares, allowing for tax deferral and potential tax savings. On the other hand, investors in mutual funds may be required to pay taxes annually on capital gains, which can impact their overall returns.
    Let me know if I got it wrong.

    • @humphrey
      @humphrey  3 роки тому +3

      Thanks for your comment. If the market crashes your investment reflects the adjusted price of the security you purchased, so in the event of a market crash, you still own the ETF/Index Fund, but it may just be worth less - but over a long period of time (40+ years), it should continue to grow. If you look at all the historicals in the past 100 years, for the most part the indexes go up slowly over time. Where people get tripped up is that they want a fast return so they get into more speculative investments. I hope this helped! GL

    This is very educational, Humphrey. You are doing a great service.
    A small criticism about accuracy. Index funds are not a separate category unto themselves. There are mutual funds that are index funds and there are ETFs that are index funds.
    Textbook definition:
    An index fund is an investment fund - either a mutual fund or an exchange-traded fund (ETF) - that is based on a preset basket of stocks, or index.

    An issue you neglected to cover when comparing ETFs and Index funds is that ETFs do NOT necessarily trade at their Net Asset Value, whereas Index Funds are, usually, sold at *exactly their NAV.* This means that in theory it is possible to buy undervalued ETFs and wait for a market correction, however, it is exceptionally rare for the ETF brokerages to actually allow small owners to exchange their ETFs for the underlying stocks, which creates an air of doubt as to what actual value ETFs have, given that they are effectively FIAT unless you own a substantial enough portion of the total ETF to have the right to exchange your shares in the ETF for the shares in the proverbial "Candy Jar".

I feel like the last disjointed bit at the video made the video feel a little "cheap" overall. I can appreciate the goal of hitting that mark for the algorithm, but it kinda made it feel like you care more about discovery than retention.
