"I wish I knew this earlier" - We help a beginner investor build her portfolio

You don't have to be an expert to invest! Yet there are so many questions and roadblocks that come up when you start investing. In this episode we answer the real time questions of one investor at the beginning of their journey. It's raw and honest; no question is off the table and no mistake is too silly. We cover: Introduction to our investor: Emily and her portfolio so far (will she achieve her dream of buying a Lamborghini?) There are so many ETFs that are so similar, how do you choose the right one? When should you consolidate? Did she set up dividend reinvestments correctly?Emily’s secret US portfolio she tactfully didn’t mention until the end We love answering your questions!
