If I Could Only Buy and Hold 1 Dividend ETF Forever, Here's What I'd Choose
A single investment can provide access to hundreds -- or even thousands -- of stocks across multiple sectors.
Overview
One of the best parts of financial writing is research. No matter how many years a person has written or how much they believe they know about the market, research is part of the process. It shapes and reshapes my personal approach to investing, helping me decide whether I'm still on track.
One thing I've found through research is how different exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are. Like cousins, they may resemble each other, but they don't all track the same index or focus on the same investment theme. The ETF that best fits one investor may not be right for another.
Details
Based on ETF characteristics I feel most confident investing in, I've decided which ETF I would hold forever -- even if it were the only one in my portfolio.
