  • What are the differences between index funds, mutual funds, and ETFs (exchange-traded funds)? What is an index fund vs. a mutual fund? Mutual fund vs. ETF? ETF vs. index fund? What makes these fund types similar, and what makes them different than picking stocks? Index funds, mutual funds, and ETFs are the 3 main fund types you can invest in in the stock market. All 3 of these fund types refer to a collection of professionally managed individual stocks or bonds. By investing in an index fund, mutual fund, or ETF, you are investing in a tiny sliver of a bunch of different stocks, usually in one category or sector of the stock market. The main benefit of investing in an index fund, mutual fund, or ETF is the diversification. There is less risk to the investor when one stock or company declines, because there are many other stocks driving the performance of that fund. This video discusses the similarities and differences between mutual funds, index funds, and ETFs.

    • @AlexRaePersonalFinance
      @AlexRaePersonalFinance  3 года назад +2

      That's a great plan! Either option is good, but I personally prefer index funds, especially for beginner investors, because the minimum investments required are usually much lower and the fees are lower. I personally like index ETFs better than index mutual funds, but the differences are so small.

      @@anthonytadros3454 That's awesome! This is NOT investment advice, but personally, I decided to not include bonds in my portfolio until I'm closer to retirement. At a young age, you're 40+ years away from retirement and thus can afford to be a bit riskier with your portfolio. Most "traditional" retirement investing advice includes bonds in the portfolio because they were better-performing in the past, and people typically didn't start saving for retirement until their 30s/40s. Just some food for thought!

    Question
    If I have invested $ 6k per year in Roth IRA in index s&p 500 and stock crashes what would be happen?

    • @AlexRaePersonalFinance
      @AlexRaePersonalFinance  3 года назад +2

      Well, let's say you purchase 6 shares of a stock at $1,000 each (for a total investment of $6,000). If that stock's value drops in half overnight, each share is now worth $500. You own 6 shares, so the value of your investments is now 6 * $500 = $3,000. Basically, you lost money. But if the next day the stock doubles in value, it goes back to its original $1,000/share and you're back at $6,000. So even though you lost money day 1, on day 2, you made it all back. But if you had sold on day 1, you wouldn't have had a chance to get back to your original value. Of course - that's the risk of investing - we can't predict how a stock will behave with 100% confidence. That's why I prefer index funds because there's less individual variability compared to investing in individual stocks. More diversification = less massive swings like the extreme example I just gave.

    ETFs all the way for me.. Those fees add up and kill your profits. Inflation is already eating up you$ each year so why give any more back that you don't need to. Best of luck

    Which one would be best for a Roth IRA between the 3 and which ones are the most popular? I'm assuming mutual funds as they are higher taxed, but since Roth isn't taxed, than its more advantageous?

  • @Funny-bf8xf

    It's interesting that you think that mutual funds out perform index funds (or in theory). Warren Buffett even has shown that this is not the case. People cannot predict the future. I can name several index funds that's always out performed the index it has followed year after year, for decades even. thank you for the videos

    • @AlexRaePersonalFinance
      @AlexRaePersonalFinance  3 года назад +2

      Warren Buffett has shown that index funds outperform mutual funds *overall,* but that doesn't mean an individual mutual fund will *always* do worse than an individual index fund. That being said, I prefer index funds for all the reasons I listed in the video.
