Tom from @tom.tpf joins me on this podcast episode to discuss a very important question what is the best global ETF for UK investors?

As Tom and I discussed on our previous podcast episode, investing really can be made simple - invest into a global fund and do this consistently for decades.

However, which global ETF is best? There are many to choose from and the jargon can be confusing. So, in this episode we compare 5 of the most popular global ETF options.

What makes them different? Primarily the number of underlying holdings (essentially the number of stocks in the ETF) and the fees that they charge.

We go through each of the ETFs and then conclude on which one (or ones) are the best for investors.

This episode will be very helpful if you're a long term global fund investor.

Listen to this podcast episode for the full details.

Tom from @tom.tpf joins me on this podcast episode to go through exactly what to look for when selecting an index fund or ETF to invest in.

Investing really can be made simple - invest into a global fund and do this consistently for decades.

However, how can you pick a fund? What should you look for?

It can get a bit technical. And in this episode we run through the nitty gritty of exactly what criteria to look for when selecting a fund.

This includes the underlying holdings, tracking errors, fees, fund size (or AUM 'Assets under management), and more.

On top of this, when it actually comes to then picking a fund on an investment platform and actually investing your money, there are a few more important differences.

What are they? They are differences in the fund provider, how dividends are treated and currency.

This episode will be a very valuable listen if you are planning to invest into funds for the long term.
