Now I’ve been investing since I was about 19 years old, and only after about 5 years did I start buying index funds. I own both ETF and Index funds, and in this video, I’ll tell you why and I’ll also show you how to do it.

1. Pick a Broker
- A broker is the company that you are going to use to buy and hold your investments
- Brokers are usually backed up by insurance of about 500k
- Brokers can go broke and face issues, so you want to involve yourself with a big broker that has been doing business for a long time
Here are the Three I recommend:
- Fidelity
- Charles Schwab
- Vanguard ( I Use Vanguard ) – 9.3Trillion assets in control, 50m plus clients, and a history of over 100 years I think
I like them for three reasons:
- Massive
- Low Fees
- Customer service
Open an Account:
- You can open a taxable account ( that’s a normal brokerage )
- Or you can open a retirement account, for like a Roth iRa
- I have a video coming soon on that by the way
2. Picking the Index Fund you want to invest into
- Now Some funds have an investment minimum
- You should know that an index fund is just a type of mutual fund
Ways around investment minimum
- For example, if you want to invest in the S&P 500
- The minimum is $3,000
- But if you open it with a retirement account, you wave the minimum
Another way to avoid the minimum
- If to instead buy an ETF, these are exchange-traded funds and the minimum can be $1
- These can fluctuate a lot, because it's like any other investment on the market
- While index funds just give you a price per day
3. Some Knowledge for people that will take this seriously
- I only buy s&p 500 it's cheaper and more simple
- And I’m still diversified across 11 sectors
If you're going to invest:
- Max out free money at the company first
- Then max out the roth ira
- And then worry about investing in a brokerage account
