Begin Investing with Low Cost Global ETFs

                                           Begin Investing with Low Cost Global ETFs

At the Women@DBG annual global event, I spoke about investing and using mindset and AI to help. I got five categories of question afterwards and here is my take on the answers:

  1.  If someone is starting from scratch, what is the simplest sensible way to begin investing?
  2.  What should I look for in an ETF or fund before I buy it?
  3.  How should I think about risk - especially market crashes, currency swings, or money I may need soon?
  4.  When does it make sense to buy individual stocks and how do I pick them?
  5.  What investing habits make the biggest difference over time?
  6.  How can AI help with money decisions without becoming a bad adviser?

Thank you
Maria Cronin and all of the team for the opportunity to speak to you all around the world.
