    116. ETFs vs managed funds

    In today’s episode of Get Rich Slow Club, we explore the differences between Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Managed Funds, addressing the common confusion surrounding these investment options. Are they the same? Which one is better for your goals? We break it all down, helping you understand when and why you might choose one over the other. We discuss what ETFs and Managed Funds are, outlining their management styles, trading processes, fees, and performance. You’ll learn how ETFs are often passively managed and traded like stocks on the exchange, providing liquidity and lower fees, while Managed Funds involve active management aimed at outperforming benchmarks but often come with higher costs. This episode is packed with practical insights for investors at any level. Whether you're new to investing or refining your strategy, we’ll help you take the guesswork out of deciding between ETFs and Managed Funds.

    114. Will the stock market ever completely crash? Is investing worth the risk?

    In this episode, we dive into the question: Can a steady 5.5% savings rate beat the uncertainty of chasing 7% in shares? With Owen Rask, we debate the risk-reward trade-off and the purpose of investing when returns aren’t guaranteed. Is it worth taking the plunge, or should we play it safe? We explore fears of total market collapse and the impact of slowing population growth, with lessons from Japan’s stagnation. Can markets keep growing, or are we heading for long-term flat returns? How can investors stay calm during volatility? Finally, we unpack myths about beating the market and the role of diversification. Does it safeguard portfolios or simply cap returns? With big questions about indefinite growth, we challenge assumptions and explore how to navigate the future. @tashinvests @anakresina @getrichslowclub @pearlerhq Get Rich Slow Club Pearler YouTube How To Not Work Forever Disclaimer Any advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.
