Most of my £196k investment portfolio (at the time of recording) is invested in global index funds and ETFs. And right now they're all sitting at record highs - or 'all-time highs'. As is the S&P 500, the Nasdaq, and many other broad market indices. Which begs the obvious questions: is now a terrible time to invest? Should you just wait for a dip? Is this time different? In this episode we go through: What the data actually says about investing at all-time highs Why 'this time might be different' (or might not be) Practical steps to take, given the market is at a record high And more Thanks for watching and let me know what you think by leaving a comment below! ----------------------------------------- 📝 Get started with investing - I pulled together a 10-page guide, 1-page cheat sheet and 30-day email course (all for free) - ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ click here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📕 Get my book Stop Waiting, Start Investing (available as a physical, digital and audiobook) - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ click here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----------------------------------------- ⚠️ Disclaimers : I am not a financial advisor and this does not represent financial advice, it is for entertainment purposes only.

Tom from @moneycoachtom joined me on this podcast episode to discuss - perhaps controversially - the financial advice industry. Sometimes categorised by high fees and a lack of transparency, which begs the question: is a financial advisor actually worth it? For some people, maybe. For others, maybe not. In this episode we get into when a financial advisor isn't (or is) worth it, the questions you need to ask your financial advisor ASAP, how to actually get value, some horror stories, and more.

Mentioned in this episode: 📊 ISA tool - click here 🌎 PACW Global ETF review video - click here I forgot to mention the ticker symbols, so I put them on screen at 5:56. These are the ticker symbols for the GBP-listed ETFs. The main caveat with all of this is that these two ETFs are brand new. As a result, they are likely to have higher spread fees, they currently have a relatively small amount of assets under management (AUM) and they have a lack of track record - so we don't know how well the ETFs will track the underlying index. But - overall it's still great that we are getting lower and lower fees for global ETFs!
