How do you build a solid ETF portfolio when there are currently over 10,000 Exchange-Traded Funds to choose from?
ETFs are often sold as the ultimate low-cost, hassle-free way to invest. But with a market that’s more volatile than ever, knowing how to choose the best ETFs is much harder than it used to be.
In this episode of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert are joined by Steve Palmer, Head of ETF Solutions at Royal London Asset Management, to break down everything you need to know about ETF investing.
From their surprising origins following the 1987 Black Monday crash to their rise as the ultimate tool for modern portfolio diversification, Steve explains how ETFs really work, the hidden risks that rarely make the headlines and how to navigate an overwhelming explosion of choice.
