• #260: 3 Easy-to-Buy Stocks that Act Like ETFs

  Piggybacking off last week’s episode, this week we bring a treat to all our Irish investors (and any investor looking for inexpensive diversification): stocks that act like ETFs.Due to deemed disposal rules and a 41% exit tax, ETFs can be frustrating for Irish investors to access so these stocks offer an easy alternative. Let’s index without indexing.Anne Marie pitches Markel Group, also known as the "Baby Berkshire", an insurance company that holds a diversified investment portfolio of large public companies, along with a venture wing focused on small- to medium-sized acquisitions.Mike pitches JAM, a JPMorgan investment trust that is treated as an individual stock in Ireland, as well as Mitsubishi Corp and Investor AB. Mitsubishi is Japan’s largest trading company, with eight distinct business divisions, while Investor AB is a Swedish holding company with a stellar investing track record and a seasoned board.Later on, Emmet delivers an excellent soliloquy on the nature of growth investing—and why he loves picking individual stocks.During the episode we reference our previous episode “Stocks to Buy During Market Volatility” which features a breakdown of Berkshire.
