Balaji Gopal, Vanguard’s Head of Product Strategy explains alternatives to direct residential property investment by way of index funds and exchange traded funds (or ETFs). We also discuss the many similarities of property investing & share investing & the associated behavioural biases.

Balaji shares his knowledge & demystifies:

• What are index funds and how they work?
• How fees can be kept low without creating a substandard product?
• Can you access commercial real estate via ETFs?
• Why having a goal, doing research & staying on point long term is vital
• Understanding long term financial goals & why you are investing.

It’s a great episode, we hope you learn as much as we did.
