07. What are index funds and ETFs?

Ask a long-term investor about passive investing, and they’ll likely mention index funds and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). However, even after sitting through a lengthy explanation, you’d be forgiven for not quite knowing how they actually work.

Don’t worry – you’re not alone. This is why Natasha Etschmann (Tash Invests) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler) have provided a simple, down-to-earth explanation of index funds and ETFs.

After this episode, you’ll confidently grasp the benefits and risks of index funds and ETFs. That way, you’ll be able to decide whether they’re the right investing option for you.
