Following our interview with financial planner Dave Quinn, Mike and Anne Marie are back to dive into ETFs. As one of the most important first steps for any investor—and the easiest way to harness the power of compounding—ETFs are well worth a closer look.
We cover brokerage options, ETF providers, types of ETFs, fee structures, and the impact of currency exchange. And yes, we hear you, Irish investors: deemed disposal unfairly eats into your gains. But we’re here to prepare you for the changes we hope to see in Budget 2026.
