Over the last 20 years, the stock market went up by 500%!! *
1000 euros invested 20 years ago could have become 6000 today. That’s insane.
But you know what’s even crazier… and very sad…
The vast majority of investors only got a tiny piece of this growth.
In fact, the average investor investing in the stock market barely managed to get 100% return over the same period. The average investor that had invested 1000 euros 20 years ago, would have 2000 euros today.
That’s a difference… and a loss of 400%.
4000 euros in this case, but much much larger sums for most people.
In this episode, we review the 5 biggest reports and studies that explore Active vs Passive Investing so that we can better understand
- The difference in performance between active and passive investing
- Why there such a enormous gap in performance
- What we (individual investors) can do about it
If you’re curious about
- How evidence-based investing works
- How to maximize your chance of having high investment returns
- How active and passive investing compare
Then this episode is for you.
And if you know anyone who is investing with bank funds (including pillars 2 and 3 pension funds), then share this episode with them.
