Easy Investing

I’m Miriam Neff, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money.

M We’ve been talking about easy ways to invest.  A beginner might choose an exchange traded fund that is simple and known.  Let’s look at Standard and Poor 500 exchange traded fund. 

V Understanding what the S&P 500 is and what a fund tracking fund does is reasonable for the average investor. There is risk, the value can go down or up. Still, it’s a good place to start. This fund is made up of 500 of the largest companies in the United States.  This gives you exposure to a diversified number of companies without the costs of a normally associated mutual fund. 

M Research is available on line and it’s easily acquired.
