And actually, before I jump ahead, just so people know what a managed fund is, this is where you give someone some money.

You don't give it to them, but you say, professional investor, here's $10,000.

Okay, so when we talk about managed funds and ETFs, what we're saying is that you effectively, you as a personal investor, you are just putting your money with another organization like a company or an individual professional and they do it for you, right?

They're mandatory or you can put extra in if you want to.

If I'm not mistaken, you invest in a few different ways, but one of the ways you do it is through something called a robo-advisor.

Australian Finance Podcast
ETFs, Robo Advice, Index Funds & Managed Funds

Yeah.
