Here are my top 3 tips for when deciding on which ETFs or Index funds to go for. Finding a solid go-to ETF or Fund is essential for any long term investor and small inefficiencies can amount to a big difference over time.

Find a cheap and efficient ETF, don't try to time the market and stay away from the very low risk funds like bonds/REITs. That's my recipe for achieving market returns without any stock picking or work on your part.

Contribute regularly to your portfolio and let the money be. Avoid expenses at all times and reinvest the dividend as is it paid out.
