Before You Invest: A Reader's Checklist

How to read a fund document, what a fee actually costs over a holding period, and the questions worth asking an adviser. A framework for judging a decision — not a recommendation, and no product is named.

What's inside

  • The four questions to answer before any money moves
  • How to read a fund factsheet: mandate, benchmark, costs, turnover
  • What an expense ratio compounds into, worked as arithmetic you can redo
  • Risk as a range of outcomes rather than a label on a leaflet
  • Concentration, correlation, and why “diversified” is a claim to check
  • What a licensed adviser owes you, and how to tell which standard applies
  • The paperwork to keep, and what to review each year

Seven sections, each with a question to answer · free · no spam
