Impact on CAGR, if u had missed 10/20 best days of investing?
If you had stayed invested CAGR is 14%,
missed 10 days? 10%.

Many a times, investors tend to exit early or wait for perfect time to invest.

Time in the market is more important, than timing the market.

It's the weekend!
Grab a cup of coffee, in this thread I will explain

1. What are ETFs?
2. How are they different from Mutual Funds?
3. What are factors to consider while investing in ETFs?

Lets dive right in.

ETFs stand for Exchange Traded Funds

The easiest way to understand them is to think of them as Mutual Funds that are traded on the exchange just like stocks.

(technically, ETFs are nothing like Mutual Funds)

ETFs are structured as pools of investment that are inclined to

a. lower the fees associated with investment
b. shift the bulk load of fees to frequent traders of the ETF than holders
c. allow investors to invest in diverse set of securities / asset classes easily

ETFs originated after the stock market crash of 1987 in US

'Passive Investing' was the new shiny thing and investors wanted a low cost way to invest in the index without any manager actively managing their investments
