Three Fund Portfolio (The Easy Way to Invest!)

The Three Fund Portfolio is a common investment approach that is beginner-friendly and has a proven track record of success. With this investment approach, you get large amounts of diversification in the domestic and international stock markets + the domestic bond market while holding only 3 index funds. It's simple, quick to set up, and low-cost. In this video, I explain the key benefits of the Three Fund Portfolio plus a description of each included fund, so you can get your investments set up today.

For Charles Schwab investors, at the end of this video, I highlight some specific funds you can purchase to replicate the Three Fund Portfolio at Charles Schwab.

Remember - personal finance and investing is ultimately personal. The Three Fund Portfolio is just an example of one investment approach you can take, and just like all investing, carries risk. You should perform your own due diligence on the investments you make to identify the investment approach right for you.

I commented on another video but I also want to comment again and say thank you. You’ve simplified in less than 10 minutes something that I’ve been struggling for weeks to figure out.
Thank you for making this easy. You’re really out here instilling knowledge and confidence in people!

You have a gift, keep sharing it. we appreciate it. just opened my 1st Roth IRA at max allowed 8k bc i'm 54. everything you explained cleared up many questions. thank you

THANK. YOU. This helped so much. Today is my first time investing in anything EVER and now I know what to do

No need to limit yourself to Schwab funds. The S&P ETF is SPY. probably cheaper on expense fees than the Schwab on as well.

Thank you for making this understandable! I've trying to do a lot of research to start and understand investing and so far it's been way over my head. Your channel is what I needed! Thank you!

Super helpful as I’m new to all of this at 22. Hopefully I’m not too far behind!

Great overview Alex! I like to keep it as simple as possible with my investing portfolio.

Your videos are beyond helpful. I haven't found anyone else who gives this type of overview and insight. I've had a CS Inherited IRA for 6 years that I've done nothing with because I had ZERO idea that I needed to invest it until recently and then I had ZERO idea what to invest it in. Because of you, I do now and I only hope it isn't too late. 😕 I'm already 47 and I don't even want to think about the money I've missed out on bc it would likely make me puke. Ughhhh.

[Thejordanfilms]

Yes I didn’t know what to choose now I do thank you

[gmenendezM]

thank you so much! This was exactly what I needed to know.😊

Hey, Alex, would you not recommend solely investing in the SWPPX?
