An annuity plan is a true retirement plan because one may never be certain of their life expectancy. Annuity plans are acquired to safeguard against premature death, just like term policies do.
It seems that markets are currently giving labour the benefit of the doubt. I've assumed a broad range of expertise, from individuals with little experience to those who have worked in investment banking or the fund management sector directly.
For a more in depth view of this topic, I can only recommend Prof. Aswath Damodaran's course on valuation. It's free on RUclips, and the lectures/slides/notes/homework are on his website. Fair warning, it is long, detailed, and boring at times, but everything you learn is very useful.
Hi @stevecornell5596 thanks for that - I hadn't heard of them. I like their three-point summary on their landing page: 1) think in decades not months, 2) be objective & independent, 3) Continuously learn & improve. That's bang in line with our philosophy. Thanks Ramin.
It would be good to see a video on the theory behind the factors within the framework of the Efficient Market Hypothesis. I.e. why is it riskier to hold a stock that is small or has a low P:B or has high quality (high profitability and/or low investment) and how diversifying across factors is expected to increase risk-adjusted returns?
@user-zf8yh2cu5f I can't answer that in a RUclips comment, but I suggest reading into the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) and the 5-Factor Model by Fama & French. If you accept the EMH, then the only way to increase your expected return is to increase exposure to known risk factors.
@fredatlas4396 a market-cap weighted index fund only gives you exposure to the (stock) market factor. To get additional exposure to 'value', you have to overweight value stocks. Same for 'size', 'profitability' and 'investment'.
Picking stocks and seeing your profits rise is easy. The difficult part is spotting when to bail out. A good example of that which affected me personally was the well run and profitable Lloyds Bank being persuaded by the Government to take on Halifax, a company I had identified as a Basket case back in 2003.
And if everybody follows these pieces of advice, stock prices will push up and everything will go to the garbage. Ramin knows it, but he also knows 90% of the viewership isn"t that intelligent/educated... and eventually sponsor may pay pretty well.
Everyone will never follow the same advice from Ramin at the same time. So, you don't need to worry about that ever happening. Moreover, if everyone followed his advice, then they'd just put a percentage of their earnings into a low fee global index fund each month and not worry about trying to do anything more complicated than that.
Not really, because like Ramin says, his products actually work, and they also sell. So, his products are real, and his companies actually make profits from sales. Two of my brothers drive Teslas, as do millions of other people, and they are good cars. Elizabeth Holmes didn't even have a working product, and the only money that she made was from fleecing her initial investors. It's a completely different situation to Musk and Tesla.
@@Pensioncraft Last year, before the Tesla price cuts, I read that to justify the share price Tesla would have to sell more cars than Toyota while maintaining their current profit per car.

I think this is hands down the best ad I've ever seen on youtube, thank you 😊
Yeah, most of them are rubbish, but this ad was actually quite informative, whilst it was trying to sell the main product.

Excellent video Ramin.
Glad you enjoyed it @ianschofield8259
Highly recommend Simply Wall St as another information aggregator

Top quality content as always ! Thank you
My pleasure @rebel.capitalist
Interesting video. Thanks, Ramin
Thanks @TomsPersonalFinance
That link seems to be UK specific as the pricing comes up in pounds. Any chance of a code/link for the US?
Hi Peter - if you head to our main site, you should see our pricing in USD. You'll still be able to use Ramin's code.
Any examples of multi factor funds available in the UK? .25% sound very cheap to me
Which is the global equity fund you mention at the beginning, Ramin?
His 1 core fund is VHVG. Mentioned in previous videos along with his reasoning and warning not to copy him.
@coderider3022 I'm still going to do it despite the warning!
@@coderider3022 , thank you.
On 2:43 is the Price to sales ratio, not PE
Hi @hundehus yes that's right I mis-spoke - sorry! Ramin
@@Pensioncraft No worries🙂
Just exclude stocks outside the FTSE 100 and then with a P/E above 15…..then choose those with the best 5 year yield average.

What's the evidence that it's riskier?
Just buy the index and then you'll get exposure all the factors

Great video, thank you very much.
Thanks @MA-pu6dc Ramin
Tesla story could be epic but always controversial
Why do so many videos (not just this one) start so suddenly after the presenter has already started speaking? Is this a RUclips thing?
And remember don’t listen to RUclipsrs!
Don't ever believe any stock-picking method will work 100% of the time.
He doesn't. In fact, he says that most stock picking methods don't outperform most of the time.

Elon is a Trump glibal domination cohort.
Elon Musk is another Elizabeth Holmes.
That made me smile @payroll970 But at least he makes products that work! Thanks, Ramin
