    All concepts
    • What is an ETF?

      An Exchange-Traded Fund is a single tradable share that holds dozens or hundreds of companies inside it. One purchase, one ticker, broad market exposure, and you can buy or sell it during market hours like any stock.

    • What is the expense ratio (TER)?

      The annual fee a fund charges to manage your money. It sounds tiny on a year-by-year basis. Compounded over decades, it is the single most controllable factor in long-term investment returns.

    • What is diversification?

      Diversification is what happens when the things you own do not all rise and fall together. It is the closest thing investing has to a free lunch, but only if you actually buy assets that move differently, not the same asset in five different costumes.

    • What is dollar-cost averaging?

      Buy a fixed amount on a fixed schedule, regardless of price. The most-recommended retail investment habit, because it removes the single biggest source of underperformance: timing decisions.

    Many investors in Latin America buy international ETFs like ILF to protect their purchasing power. Because ILF is priced in foreign currency, your investment is tied to a hard currency.
