4 ETFs Built for Long-Term Investors to Buy and Hold Now
These 4 ETFs are great options for long-term investors.
Overview
I love investing in individual stocks; however, it isn't easy. In fact, a J.P. Morgan study found that between 1980 and 2020, about two-thirds of stocks underperformed the market while 40% had negative absolute returns. That is why I firmly believe that it is in the best interest of most investors to have one or more index exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that they use as core holdings to consistently dollar-cost average into on a regular basis.
Consistent dollar-cost averaging over a long period of time is the best strategy to build long-term wealth through investing. Meanwhile, index ETFs are the best investment vehicle for this, as it gives investors an instant portfolio of stocks. Many indexes are also market cap weighted, letting their winners run, which is often a key to long-term performance.
