Do you struggle with the many different types of investment products available to the average consumer? Have you ever felt that you needed to be a Wall Street veteran or have an MBA from Harvard to have a fighting chance of success with all of these different investments? Well, you are certainly not alone. The most common questions that I have consistently received over time revolve around the investment world and in particular, investment products. In today’s podcast, I am going to discuss two of the more common investment products available to the investing public, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds or ETFs. And hopefully by the end of our show today, you will have a much better understanding of the two and how they might fit into your investment plans.
