  1. And pay higher commission costs. Not to mention you’ll likely have a significant tracking error.

  2. True, the dominos pizza example is anecdotal but that was simply an example for illustrative purposes , this is a YouTube video not a academic paper. Importantly he did also mention studies that backed up empirically what he was suggesting with the dominoes pizza example. I see no problem with sprinkling in real life examples to keep the video light and to help support the data and research that is discussed.

  3. QSuper allows you to invest in some passive funds (limited options but it’s better than nothing). Unfortunately the fees are higher than if you had just invested in the etfs directly. That’s rather annoying when all it appears the superfund is doing is renaming the investment option - but it’s better than nothing and you still get the tax advantages I guess. 🤷‍♂️
