116. ETFs vs managed funds
12/09/24 • 15 min
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. Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram for more tips and updates!
