3 Things You Should Know About the S&P 500
Instead of paying a financial advisor 1% of your assets to pretend to beat the S&P 500, you might want to know these three things. I'm Tyler, a former financial advisor and portfolio manager. If any of this is helpful, sign up for my free newsletter by clicking the link in my bio.
1. Companies that Shrink or Stumble Get Kicked Out
In the S&P 500, underperforming companies are removed, ensuring only strong performers remain.
2. Thriving Companies Get Overweighted
Companies that thrive are given more weight, meaning the index tilts towards what's currently working and winning.
3. You Benefit Without Predicting
With the S&P 500, you get to enjoy the gains without needing to predict a thing, all for about 1/50th of the price of working with an advisor.
