Fear & Greed is proud to share an episode of our sister podcast - How Do They Afford That? - out every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts.

ETFs have exploded in popularity over the last decade. Exchange-traded funds are often seen as an easy way to start investing, because they can give exposure to a whole lot of different companies, in different sectors, potentially spreading risk and helping you to track market growth over time. But there are also plenty of myths and misunderstandings about how they work. Join Canna Campbell - a financial planner for 20 years - and Fear & Greed's Michael Thompson as they explore the 5 biggest myths about ETFs.

Canna and Michael's new book is available now! Pick up your copy of Twelve Months to Financial Freedom at Big W, bookshops or online.
