    They've recently released a new range called SustainableLife that's an active ESG version of the Lifestrategy funds which is interesting. I feel like the 20% equity follows the global investment grade bond index too much and the 100% equity is an underperforming and expensive version of an All World/All Cap index!

    • @MattBrighton

    Thank you for this video I’ve been really researching how to invest in stocks for a while, one question though:
    Why would someone choose to go with a wealth management fund (actively managed by a manager) and pay fees, instead of just investing in an index fund with less fees and healthy returns ?
    Most actively managed funds don’t beat the market performance either based on my understanding !

    Just a quick question, if I am a consistent investor.. wouldn't investing monthly will cause my "average open" to be higher, thus, profiting lesser?
    Do you have any tips for beginners like me who wants to invest consistently?

    • @MattBrighton
      @MattBrighton  2 роки тому +1

      I'd highly recommend 'cost averaging' and just putting money away on a regular basis, a lot of people do it, that way you'll buy into some dips, some peaks and overall it averages out. I don't have it to hand but have seen some studies where they forecasted if you lump sum at the beginning, versus cost averaging over a year using past performance and the person who cost averaged ended up better.
      I do that now - my savings are regularly invested into my index funds every month

  • @mattknight533
    @mattknight533 4 місяці тому

    Nice video. Would you advise sticking your finds into one type of fund, or spread across a few, such as some £££ in life strategy, some in S&P500, some in another etc ?

    • @MattBrighton
      @MattBrighton  4 місяці тому

      Funds often are incredibly diversified as they are so it's totally up you. You'd also find if spreading your money across life strategy and S&P500 that both end up investing in the same companies anyway just with different %'s.
