Ep 67 | Are Index Funds Really "Average"?

Welcome back to Episode 14 of Financial KarMoe with Kar & Moe!In this episode, we dive into some of the biggest investing debates happening in the personal finance community — from index funds and factor investing to covered call ETFs, FOMO, and building a long-term investing strategy.We start by discussing @BenFelixCSI 's video on "The Biggest Myth in Personal Finance" and share our thoughts on some of the ideas that sparked the most conversation — including whether saving early really matters and why investing in index funds is NOT simply "settling for average returns."We also answer questions from the Blossom community, including:🌎 Why do we choose globally diversified ETFs like XEQT?🔄 Should investors switch strategies when another ETF outperforms?💰 Do covered call ETFs actually outperform their underlying investments?😬 How do you avoid FOMO when other strategies are doing well?🧠 Why staying curious and continuously learning matters as an investor📚 Where we continue learning about investing, taxes, and financial planningA big thank you to everyone who submitted questions and continues to support Financial KarMoe.
