Why Choose ETFs?

What is an ETF?

Think of it as a basket of stocks. Instead of buying one apple, you buy the whole fruit bowl. Instant diversification.

Compound Growth

Dividends are reinvested automatically. Over time, this "interest on interest" effect can build significant wealth.

Stocks vs. ETFs

Individual stocks are risky. Core ETFs provide stability. We recommend a 90% Core (ETF) and 10% Satellite strategy.
