61. "I only invest in two ETFs. Am I diversified enough?"

Recently, a Get Rich Slow Club listener asked Tash and Ana an interesting question (which we’ve paraphrased below):


“I invest in two ETFs which track the S&P 500 and the ASX 200. Should I be diversifying even more, or should I stick to what feels good (and easy), which is automatically investing in the ETFs I currently have?”


Tash and Ana love questions like this, because they get to the crux of getting rich slow. That’s why they’ve committed this episode to approaching it from every angle. If you’ve ever wondered how much diversification is “enough”, you won’t want to miss this session!
