Stratosphere Investing Podcast

As many investors shift to a self-directed investment portfolio, passive index investing is becoming more and more popular when compared to active management.  As a Canadian, passive investing is great for gaining international stock market exposure for a rock-bottom low Management Expense Ratio (MER).  Kornel Szrejber, from Build Wealth Canada, joins us on episode 20 of The Stratosphere Investing Podcast to discuss this topic in depth and create a list of actionable steps to take to avoid high fee management.

Dr. Crosby shares the 4 biggest behavioural mistakes that investors often make. Emotions play a huge part of investing and Daniel brings some interesting facts to the conversation.

Kevin Quigg of exponentialetfs.com joins us on SI 18 to discuss the conventional stock market index and its conventional market cap weighting. There are some inherent problems with this approach, so they created an index ETF to inverse the market cap of the S&P 500 (The 500 largest companies in America).

Travis Fonderson, of the Young Funds Program, joins us on the show to discuss how to start investing and how a long term vision will serve you well. Investing as a young person is a huge advantage due to time in the market. Travis teaches students through the Young Funds Program to get their portfolio off the ground. Braden and Travis both agree on how valuable a low-fee portfolio is over the long term.
