It’s Sunday, which means...It’s recap time!

This week, I talked about how to avoid the hidden danger of index fund investing. I spent much of this week talking about what no one tells you about index fund investing and what few people actually understand about index funds and ETFs - because of their market weights, they are not as diversified as you might think.

Here’s what I covered in each episode this week:

  • What You Think You Own in a S&P 500 Index Fund
  • What You Really Own in a S&P 500 Index Fund
  • Why You Can Get Burned By Index Funds in the Next market meltdown, and how to avoid the hidden danger of index funds
  • And lastly, some key takeaways for this week about a prudent way to approach index fund investing

Hopefully after listening to the One Minute Retirement Tip this week, you now know that index funds is that in and of themselves are a perfectly good investments, but you still need to work to build a diversified portfolio when you own index funds, rather than just buying one or two and mistakenly believing you are diversified.

If you missed any of these episodes or if you want to revisit any of them, you can find them on iTunes, Spotify, or Google Play by searching for the “One Minute Retirement Tip with Ashley”.

Tomorrow, we are starting a brand new theme: Navigating Life’s Important Transitions Before and During Retirement. I’ll talk about how to prepare and plan for life’s inevitable transitions that happen in your 50s and beyond...everything from becoming an empty nester to retirement to taking care of elderly parents to the death of a spouse. For most of you listening, these events are likely and often inevitable, and there are important decisions that need to be made before and during each of these important transitions, to help you navigate each of them with preparation and grace.

That’s it for this week! Thanks for listening and I hope you have a blessed Sunday!

My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the “One Minute Retirement Tip”.
