I’m planning to focus on ETFs in 2026, and these are on the top of my buy list.
I’ve been an active investor for about 15 years, and most of my efforts have been focused on building a portfolio of individual stocks. There’s a good reason for this — it’s entirely possible to beat the market by focusing on excellent businesses and holding their shares for as long as they remain excellent businesses. In fact, this is exactly how Warren Buffett (and many other wealthy investors) built their fortunes.
However, as I get a little older, my focus has started to shift toward exchange-traded funds, or ETFs. While I still add individual stocks to my portfolio, I’m also trying to build a more robust “backbone” that should perform well over time with minimal reliance on the performance of any individual company.
