Podcast #45: Investing in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)…The Facts

17th July 2017

Paddy Delaney

Hey, and welcome to another episode of Informed Decisions Financial Planning podcast here in Ireland.

If you have ever asked yourself:

What are ETFs?……

How Do I invest in ETFs?…….

How Do ETFs actually work?…..

Are ETFs Risky?………………Then this episode will hopefully give you some useful information.

This time around we are taking a look under the bonnet of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) in Ireland and determining how they may or may not be something you want to get behind the wheel of as part of your portfolio.

ETFs are well documented at this stage, having grown in popularity for investors over recent years. They now estimate that ETFs account for 25% of all stock market transactions (in the US anyway – Ireland is a little behind those guys!). Whether you do or don’t know about them there is no doubt they are popular and more and more of us regular folk are asking about them here in Ireland!

Thanks for listening. Full written version here.
