During the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting in 2020, billionaire and legendary investor Warren Buffett told the audience, “in my view, for most people, the best thing to do is own the S&P 500 index fund.”
It’s a sentiment Buffett has stood by and repeated because he believes it’s a way for investors to help mitigate the risks that come with choosing individual stocks.
“The trick is not to pick the right company. The trick is to essentially buy all the big companies through the S&P 500 and to do it consistently and to do it in a very, very low-cost way,” he told CNBC in 2017.
