If you have ever typed "which index fund should I buy?" and still felt confused This episode is for you. In this conversation with Dhirendra Kumar breaks down how to choose the right index fund as a beginner, why broad index funds are usually the better starting point, and why sector and thematic funds often show up at the wrong time for investors.
