The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap

The Fat Wallet Show is a show about questions. It’s about admitting that we don’t know everything, but that we’re willing to learn. Most of all, it’s about understanding as much as we can to make us all better investors. Phrases like, “I’m not sure” or, “Let me look that up and get back to you” or, “I don’t know” don’t exist in the financial services industry. If you ever had a financial question you were too embarrassed to ask, you know what we’re talking about. In this business, appearances matter, and nobody wants to seem like they don’t know how things work or what the outlook is for the buchu industry. It’s easy to excuse that little vanity, except that people in the investment industry are meant to service investors - people like you and me who need to figure out what to do with our money. There’s no such thing as a stupid question in this show. If you have unanswered financial questions, this is your opportunity to have them answered in a way that even I can understand. Pop them to us at ask@justonelap.com. Hosted by Kristia van Heerden and Simon Brown

#60: ETF Q&A 0
Aug 13, 2017

It’s our 60th show! At the time of recording we were also only a few downloads shy of the 70 000 download mark. What a time to be alive! We are so grateful for your support.

This week we received a bunch of related questions about my favourite topic - ETFs. We discuss:

  • TER: How it’s calculated and what it means for your investment. I also wrote an article about it here.
  • Spread: The cost that’s not a cost.
  • The difference between ETFs and ETNs.
  • How to put together an ETF portfolio.
  • How to choose between two similar ETF products.
  • How to understand risk.
  • How to trade (or not trade) the volatility index.

We also decided on a whim to put together a Fat Wallet index. It’s a fun way to see how indices are created and to see if we’re collectively smart enough to beat the market. You can submit your favourite listed company for inclusion in the index by sending a mail to ask@justonelap.com. Maybe we can get some industry peeps to take us through the nuts and bolts in a future episode.
