How to get the balance right?
Start simple, choose core ETFs for broad market exposure. E.g., A300 diversifies across more sectors and company sizes in Australia.
But remember:
Investing in what excites you is all part of the fun…
Be clear on your specific investment goals. Why you’re investing, and to what timeline.
“Tilt” towards satellite investments that meet your goals.
Stay exposed to different companies, industries, countries.
Be clear on costs for each ETF in your portfolio. Higher fees can dramatically affect your long-term wealth creation.
Diversify inside the individual funds you invest in and across different asset classes.
Satellites need to orbit around your core, not the other way around
Your extra flavours should never de-stabilise your cone
You might need to rebalance between stability and growth from time to time
