Index funds are often recommended because they offer broad market exposure with lower fees. It’s a passive way to invest, which means you don’t have to constantly monitor the market.
Yeah, the idea of investing in a diversified portfolio without having to pick individual stocks is appealing. But it’s still a bit overwhelming knowing where to start.
I felt the same way at first. I started by learning about different index funds and their performance. It’s also crucial to understand your risk tolerance and investment goals before diving in.
That makes sense. I’ve been considering investing in index funds too. I’m just worried about making mistakes or not knowing the best way to allocate my investments
That’s why having a financial advisor can be so beneficial. My advisor has helped me set up a plan that aligns with my goals and risk tolerance, and he’s been guiding me through adjustments as needed.
My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to pay off our mortgage early. We were both still working, and took the payment amount that we had been using to pay off our mortgage faster and we put it straight into investments. We were able to retire early because of almost 7 years of putting away what would have been our mortgage payment as well as maxing out our 401K/403B plans. Thankfully we were taught by both of our parents the value of living within our means. Thank you for your advice. I know it will help people. we are interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?
Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
Leicia Zavala Perkins is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..
I am confused. You are speaking about buying index funds but you actually bought an ETF, isn’t that right? Can you buy actual index funds on T212? Or am I confusing index funds with mutual funds?
Hi Mitch - great video. One thing is confusing me. Do you suggest putting in an amount each month into the index fund? You mentioned you started with £400 every month. Was that consistent irrespective of the fluctuations in the share prices? Or do you ignore that and stick to the consistency. If it does well though won’t you always be buying high?
Hey, thanks! I did £400 a month because that was what I could afford at the time and invested it automatically irrespective of the stock market prices. I did invest more when the market collapsed in 2020 on a couple of months to capitalise from lower market prices but generally I’d say invest what you can afford, and don’t worry about market timing ☺️
I have about $250k distributed across various investing accounts, with 35% of my capital invested in an IRA and 25% in index funds. In Q3, 2023, I suffered a great deal. I'm just searching for methods to get better in 2024 right now.
Great video Mitch! One of my mate's bank account was hacked and Halifax closed his account down thinking he's the scammer. Now he keeps getting rejected f4om every other bank. What can he do?
Thanks! Gosh that’s a difficult one, only thing he could do is call up the customer services line to see if his account can be reinstated. Financial Ombudsman may also be able to help too.
I started about 4 years ago and have a t212 Dollar account and when my sister recently signed up she didn't get to choose between currencies and just got a Euro account. We're both german, so I'm wondering why? I mean I like my dollar account the FX rates favour my investments, but just curious 🧐
Hey, I have got a video on the channel somewhere about exactly how it’s set up! I think it’s a video called “how normal people can become rich” I made it a few months back. But yes, the way it’s set up is through a Ltd co, and is funded by my RUclips business (also Ltd co). I’m currently employed so I don’t take any money out of either business account, so hopefully I’ll be able to reinvest the money quicker ☺️
Boring ETF investing, is the best ETF investing. I’ve held mine in the S&P and an All World for years. I’ve only really just started on individual stocks as my disposable income outgrows my ISA & Pension ETF allocation. UTV 😉 My old man used to play for & manage Villa, so I didn’t have any choice in who I supported 😂 hopefully see you down VP one day !
Completely agree, about investing & the Villa 😆 Brian Little? Just taking a punt based on your username lol! I’m usually in the North Stand, give me a shout if you ever spot me in the crowds!
In the same way whatever he's indicated as the monthly payment won't be worth as much in the future so in the future you'll be paying in monthly much more than you are today? That's why many use 6 or 7% as a realistic rate of return as it accounts for inflation and as such the final figure given would in effect be in "today's money"
When you was talking about the 1 free share and then Ainsley Harriott popped up i couldn't stop laughing 😅😅. Im a new investor and you are giving some great advice. Im definitely going to look into the stocks you mentioned.
Happy Sunday guys!

Okay
I guess losing 5-0 to Palace is equivalent to a mauling in a bad day in the market
It is indeed 🤦🏼♂️
Thanks for the advice - would you recommend commodity ETFs too?
Great video Mitch!

@@MitchShoesmith thanks for the advice. That's actually really helpful because we weren't getting anywhere with citizens Advice

Also I have to send my money to London while she has to send it to Cyprus lmao
Can't wait for when I'm 83 years old with £1.2 mil in the bank
😂😂😂😂
😂
Hahaha
😂😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where would you recommend me saving my emergency fund
In a high interest savings account, or cash ISA where you can gain access to your funds at any point
@@MitchShoesmith That’s what I was thinking.Thanks for the reply.
Great video. Please could you make a video about selling a portfolio and what taxation would come into effect. Thanks
Thanks Paul, if it’s held in an ISA there is no tax to pay on any of the proceeds 👌🏼
Mitch any chance of a vid on how you set up your property flex. Guessing through a ltd company?🤔and how exactly do you pay yourself? Ta 🤙

The problem is 1.2mil in 40 years isn't as good as it sounds right now. Perhaps inflation adjusted would also be useful to see
In the same way whatever he's indicated as the monthly payment won't be worth as much in the future so in the future you'll be paying in monthly much more than you are today?
That's why many use 6 or 7% as a realistic rate of return as it accounts for inflation and as such the final figure given would in effect be in "today's money"
@@BaileyMxXYes I know, I think it's just worth explicitly mentioning an inflation adjusted amount
@@joshb7326 just use 7% returns then. There's your inflation taken into account amount. It would be the equivalent of today's money

thoughts on palantir right now
Price is to high, wait til it hits 15€
It's crap
If you want big earnings buy abcellera biologics. Its going to triple youre money in 1 year. Take a look at it😉
Hope your portfolio does better than Villa will in the Champions League.
And me 😂
My Champions League expectations are low!
Awesome 🔥
great vid - when does the fund kick and promote companies out of the index? i.e. how often does it happen..
Quarterly :)
Top vid 👌
Thanks Aidan!
Only 5 years left .
Up the Palace haha (ps im a gooner!!!)
😂😂 no comment!
1200
Come on Mitch I thought you were better than all this Aston Villa nonsense, up the baggies 😂
😂😂😂
eyy, don't call me a beginner
