Stop overthinking investing. According to experts, this is what your stock portfolio should look like. If you're a beginner investor, complicated stock portfolios with 10, 15, 20 holdings are not the goal. Simple, diversified investing always wins in the long run. And if you're not using an all-in-one ETF, don't worry, experts say you only need four ETFs. This is called a four fund portfolio and it evolved from John Bogle's three fund portfolio. And if you don't know who John Bogle is, he is the founder of Vanguard and he popularized low cost index investing for the everyday individual. Here's what the four fund portfolio actually looks like. It has one US equity ETF, one Canadian equity ETF, one international equity ETF, and one bond ETF. These four ETF types give you exposure to companies all across the world without making it complicated, but also keeping your portfolio diversified. That's it. Simple, proven, and beginner friendly. Stay tuned for part two where we talk about the percentage breakdown and how to split $100. Make sure you follow, like, and comment for more finance and investing basics made easy for the girls.
