To start comparing quotes and simplify insurance-buying, check out Policygenius: https://policygenius.com/whiteboardfinance Thanks to Policygenius for sponsoring this video! In this video, I will show you exactly how to buy your first index fund (the right way). Index funds are baskets of stocks designed to replicate/track a specific market index. They are passively managed investments that offer low expense ratios/fees vs. actively managed funds. Index funds typically match the risk and return of the overall index that they are trying to track. There are over 2,400+ index funds available to be traded, with many different types. Here are a few examples: 1. Broad Market ($VTI) 2. Market Cap (Large, Mid, Small) 3. Equal Weight ($RSP) 4. Factor-Based (Value, Div, Volatility) 5. Sector-Based (Banking, Tech, etc.) 6. International (Track a specific index) 7. Debt (Bonds, etc.) Stay tuned throughout the entire video as I give a live demo of me purchasing an index fund!
