Buffett keeps pointing everyday investors to the same ETF
Warren Buffett once again highlighted the merits of a simple, low-cost index fund tracking the broad US stock market over trying to beat the market by picking individual stocks. According to the Berkshire Hathaway chairman, for the vast majority of retail investors who lack the time or expertise for deep company analysis, regular investments in a low-fee index fund have historically outperformed actively managed portfolios. Buffett has repeated this advice for years, including in his famous bet against hedge funds, which the index strategy won over the long run. Experts note this approach is especially relevant during periods of high market volatility, when picking individual stock winners becomes harder. For investors in Kazakhstan, diversification through broad index instruments also remains one of the basic principles of long-term investing.
