The council recommends
On: "what is the best long term investing strategy ?"
Top pick
Automated Low-Cost Global Index Portfolio
Invest automatically each month into a globally diversified, low-cost index fund like Vanguard Total World Stock (VT), adjusted with a small bond allocation (10-20%) according to your risk tolerance. Maximize tax-advantaged accounts first and reinvest all dividends. Rebalance once a year and stay invested through market downturns without trying to time market cycles.
Runner-up
An indexed Target Retirement fund that automatically shifts from stocks to bonds as you age.
Wildcard
A core-and-satellite setup keeping 90% in total-world index funds and 10% in high-conviction individual stocks.
Best time
Start immediately with regular automatic contributions, regardless of current market highs or lows.
