Welcome to the Making Margin podcast! Greenway’s team is here to discuss common financial mistakes and to help you navigate them.
Meet the voices behind Making Margin:
Today’s topic is why investing should be boring. We take a broad look at what we believe investing should look like and why.
Discussion Topics:
- How we design a portfolio for our clients
- How we use decades of historical data to guide our investment process
- A 2016 study by S&P Dow Jones Indices showed that about 90 percent of active stock managers failed to beat their index targets over the previous one-year, five-year and 10-year periods; fees explain a significant part of that under performance.
- What exactly is an ETF, stock, bond, mutual fund, etc.?
- What’s the most important predictor of a relative investment return?
- What other types of fees should people be looking for?
- A lot of people now have target dated funds in their 401k. Positives and negatives?
- Investing is like amateur tennis
Take Away: If investing seems boring to you, you’re probably doing something right.
