About this ebook

Most professionally managed funds fail to keep up with a plain market index over the long run, and the reason is not talent but cost, turnover and human behavior. Effortless Compounding explains in plain language how indices are built, what really happens inside a so-called passive fund, and how to choose between ETFs and mutual funds without paying for what you do not need. It walks through the three-fund portfolio and other simple allocations, shows why global diversification is no longer optional, and quantifies how fees and taxes erode decades of returns. It also covers the psychological traps that make investors sell at the worst moment. Written for the curious individual investor who wants a robust plan rather than a hot tip, it closes with an action plan up to the first purchase.
