  • Beyond the S&P 500: Smarter Portfolio Alternatives
    Feb 9 2025

    Listen to my article in an interview format. It’s surprisingly good with Ai converting my article into an engaging conversation between two of my "friends".

    Some investors may think investing in the S&P 500 is enough. But the increasing weighting of tech stocks within the US market could expose you to more risk than expected.

    This episode explores exciting alternative investments that help you further diversify. Including REITs for income, dividend stocks for stability, gold and bonds for protection, and ETFs for global growth.

    The best part?

    Many of these are set-and-forget investments—no constant monitoring needed.

    In this episode, hear about simple, set-and-forget strategies that can help you:

    ✅ Reduce risk with global diversification

    ✅ Earn steady income through REITs, dividends & options

    ✅ Protect your portfolio with gold and bonds

    ✅ Capture high-growth opportunities in emerging markets & thematic ETFs

    No need to watch the markets 24/7—just smart, balanced investing that works for you.
