Who is The Barefoot Investor?
The Barefoot Investor is now one of Australia's most trusted finance experts, frequently speaking on national TV to provide advice to everyday Australians.

In a nutshell The Barefoot Investor is a no-BS guide to taking control of your personal finances with very simple and practical steps that all Australians can follow. One of the main lessons that Scott shared in the book was to: Automate your retirement planning by investing in Index Funds.

What are Index Funds?
An index fund is just a simple way to invest in a large collection of stocks. An index fund might have thousands of different individual stocks in it but you only have to make one purchase to own a portion of all of them. In a world without index funds, if you wanted to have say a thousand different stocks in your portfolio you’d have to make 1000 separate purchases. If you’re paying $10 per trade that would cost you $10,000 alone just buying the companies, on top of also taking you a lot of time!

Using an index fund is way simpler than trying to self-manage a portfolio of thousands of different companies, constantly trying to re-balance weightings every day. And the best feature of an index fund is in its name, it's the fact that it passively tracks an index. An index is a set of “investment instructions” that the fund needs to abide by, for example an index fund that tracks the ASX200 is tracking the performance of the 200 largest companies listed in Australia on the ASX.
