Beginner Friendly but not Foolproof: How to Avoid the 5 Most Common ETF Mistakes

ETFs have grown in popularity in the last decade, and beginner investors are often encouraged to consider them. But beginner doesn’t mean foolproof and even investments like ETFs can go wrong when investors don’t know what they are really buying and how best to use them. It’s also worth noting that beginner doesn’t mean that ETFs can’t be part of more sophisticated strategies either.

Feel Behind on Investing? The Biggest Mistakes Younger Australians Can Avoid

First the bad news: many Australians in their 20s and 30s feel they are already late to investing. Property prices seem out-of-reach, the cost-of-living pressure is real, and social media can make everyone else’s financial life appear rosier than it really is.

Is now a good time to consider residential real estate funds?

Australian investors are well versed in the long list of ways to invest in commercial property. This explains why the commercial property investment sector is so large. The value of unlisted property trusts is estimated at $227 billion, while the listed property trust sector is valued at $144 billion (Property Council of Australia). Despite the commercial property sector’s fund raising success, few investors are aware of the emerging options to invest in funds in the residential real estate sector.

Apple’s fintech play gets bigger

Apple's high-yield savings account racked up almost $1 billion in deposits within four days of its launch in April. The 4.15 per cent annual yield with no minimum balance requirement is undoubtedly a draw for its more than 2 billion users, but what is truly noteworthy is the overwhelming response at a time of growing distrust in the banking sector.

Is investing in shares really gambling?

Nearly twenty years ago, 34-year-old Londoner Ashley Revell made a bet few of us would ever even consider. He sold everything he owned – his house, his car, even his clothes – and took a flight to the United States where he checked into a Las Vegas casino. The he headed for the Roulette wheel, where he gambled every cent he’d scraped together (a total of US$135,300 to be exact) on a single bet. Revell put his chips on red, his reasoning being he had a 50:50 chance of winning. To some people, that sort of punt is no different to investing in shares. But as we’ll see, it’s a totally different scenario.

Inflation - It could be worse than you think

If you’re reading this and you’ve already reached the age of 50, then you know a bit about inflation. You’ll remember the 1980s, when inflation peaked at 11.35 per cent, way ahead of wages growth. It took years to bring those spiralling price increases under control.

It’s been used as a symbol of prestige and authority for thousands of years. The earliest coins minted by a central bank were made from gold. It has applications in electronics, dentistry, aerospace and medical industries. Demand for gold as a decorative item hasn’t waned since the time of Ancient Egypt.
