KINDERleicht Investing #034 The MSCI World won't make your child rich

In this episode of "KINDERleicht investieren" we explore the question: Will the MSCI World really make your child rich? The MSCI World is often recommended as the perfect all-round investment solution, but is it really the best choice for your child's long-term financial security? We explain what the MSCI World is and the benefits it offers - such as broad diversification across 1,600 companies and low-cost access to global markets. But despite its advantages, there are also significant disadvantages. Why is the MSCI World not the best choice for your child's future? We show why broader diversification and the inclusion of growth regions are necessary to realize the full potential of long-term investing. Listen in and find out why the MSCI World can be a solid start, but not enough to provide your child with long-term financial security!

KINDERleicht Investieren #031 Rising COSTS for Trade Republic & Co? What parents need to know!

Millions of parents are tempted by the low fees and quick access to trading apps like Trade Republic when starting their child's investment - but are they really the best choice for their child's long-term wealth accumulation? In this episode of "KINDERleicht Investieren", Torben and Bogdan explain why investing via neobrokers harbors risks that are often overlooked.
