The disadvantage of these 基金s is that, by their nature, they cannot (警官の)巡回区域,受持ち区域 the market. They 許す you to buy the whole market, which means you will do no better or worse than the 普通の/平均(する).

However, the advantage is that you save yourself the bother of trying to work out which 投資s are likely to make you more money than the 残り/休憩(する).

2. Or just buy one 選び出す/独身 基金

If you're feeling 最高の lazy, you could start by buying a 選び出す/独身 基金 that is designed to 含む/封じ込める everything you need for a balanced 大臣の地位.

For example, if you are saving for 退職, 資産 経営者/支配人 先導 申し込む/申し出s a 範囲 of 的 退職 基金s that 簡単に 要求する you to 明言する/公表する when you hope to stop working to 決定する which one is 権利 for you.

Some are also designed for people who wish to draw an income from their 投資s and for those who wish to 投資する only in 資産s that have been 審査するd for their 環境の, Social and Governance 跡をつける 記録,記録的な/記録する. These have 各々の 現在進行中の 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s of 0.17 per cent ― or 0.28 per cent for the income 見解/翻訳/版.

選ぶing a 壇・綱領・公約 is straightforward. The main things you'll want to consider are 料金s, what 肉親,親類d of service it 申し込む/申し出s and the 投資s it 許すs you to buy.

4. Check every now and then

If you're 投資するing for the long-称する,呼ぶ/期間/用語 and you have a 大臣の地位 that you are happy with, you may not have to check up on it more than once a year.

The main thing you need to keep an 注目する,もくろむ on is the level of 投資 危険 you are taking.

Then you 追加する '衛星s' ― smaller holdings in more niche 基金s that 投資する in 明確な/細部 地域s, 部門s, or 主題s.

That way, you get to 実験(する) your 有罪の判決s, but without 危険ing your whole 投資 大臣の地位 on them.

6. Don't take your 注目する,もくろむs off the 料金s
