I‘ve been a guest on the Honest Money podcast on two prior occasions. Warren Ingram and his team work hard to bring excellent insights on personal finance and investments to a wide audience. This is ultimately my passion as well, so I always welcome the opportunity to be on the show.
In my third appearance, Warren wanted to talk about my thoughts on active vs. passive investing. This is so important, as any wealth creation journey needs to at the very least include passive exposure to equities i.e. index tracking ETFs. The strategies can go far beyond that of course, with juicy ETFs that give exposure to interesting themes and the use of stock-picking strategies to add an active element to a portfolio.
As you know, I do all my investing through the EasyEquities platform. The great thing is that active and passive investments can be executed through an EasyEquities account. A tax free savings account is a no-brainer for all investors and only passive investments are allowed in that ring-fenced account. Again, this can be done through EasyEquities.
In this episode, we also touch on single stock portfolio diversification, rebalancing, the psychology behind risk trading and great tips and insights on how to maximize on your returns.

Hi. I also do Easy Equities. Great platform. just one small issue with their US$ platform as they do not have all the etfs I would like eg. VIGI etf. I have requested they add but they make no promises.
Thanks.
Hi Miles – yes, there are some practical limitations when it comes to ETF providers unfortunately!
