Brexit, ETFs and Mutual Funds – What You Need to Know

Brian and Bo jump into the Brexit conversation and give you their insight on the events and subsequent market volatility. The guys also talk through the differences between ETFs and Mutual Funds and explain which one may make the most sense for your situation.

After the quick rundown on Brexit and its implications, Brian and Bo spend the rest of the episode comparing and contrasting ETFs and Mutual Funds.

Listen in to this week’s show to learn the history of these two investment vehicles and where they belong in your portfolio.
