It’s time for the second video in our series Investing Demystified, featuring Lars Kroijer.
Lars is a former hedge fund manager who has seen at first hand how very hard it is, to beat the markets, even for professionals with vast resources at there disposal.
In this video, he urges investors to ask themselves whether they honestly think they have an edge over the rest of the market. If you think you know more than the thousands of expert investors out there, go ahead and be an active investor.
But the truth is that the vast majority of investors do not have an edge, and are therefore much better off investing in low-cost funds that simply track the market.
