Get Started Investing

Why we love index funds (and you should too)


Listen Later

We don’t call ourselves ‘The Index Boys’ for nothing. Index funds are the bread and butter of how we invest. They’re low cost, diversified and make it possible to grow meaningful wealth without spending hours stock picking.


In fact, we believe index investing alone, can be enough.


So in this episode, we explain what index funds are and why we think they’re the best investing method for beginners and seasoned investors alike. Plus, we share how we each use them in our own portfolios.


We cover: 

  • What is an index fund and how do they work?
  • A look through their historical performance.
  • How we invest these funds.
  • Examples of ASX listed Index ETFs.
