Index Fund Investing: The Simple and Accessible Way to Successful Investing
Investing can be simple and accessible to the average person, says financial thought leader and economist Burton Malkiel. Malkiel, author of the investment classic "A Random Walk Down Wall Street," has 50 years of research to back up his claim. In his latest edition of the book, Malkiel emphasizes that investors would be better off buying and holding a broad-based index fund rather than attempting to buy and sell individual securities or actively managed mutual funds.
Malkiel's beliefs are supported by the track record of an investor who invested $10,000 in an index fund in 1977 and saw it grow to over $2 million by 2022, while an investor who purchased shares in the average actively managed mutual fund only saw the investment grow to $1.47 million.
Despite the changes in the market and the array of investment products and strategies available, Malkiel remains convinced of the validity of his original thesis. He explains why he still believes in the principles of "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" and offers his perspective on ESG investing, factor investing, and cryptocurrencies.

Professor Malkiel is a LEGEND. I just read his book. All my retirement money is in a bunch of index funds for the past 20 years. Thank you Jack Bogle and Prof. Malkiel.
Could not agree more with the comment of holding an index fund. If anything all this immediate information flow driving prices up and down so violently makes me feel even more secure in index funds.
thank you so very much Burton Malkiel....
Malkiel is one of the last of the all time greats in Finance. His advice is pure gold and should be mandatory viewing for novice investors. Thank you for interview.
He said to add non-U.S. index funds, as your portfolio "develops"...I wish he had been a bit more specific as to what constitutes, "as it develops".
This guy's been around the block many times, I like him. Just ordered the book! 👍
This guy's advice is hands-down the most important financial information anybody should hear. It's great to see him on the program and I appreciate the questions you raised to him Consuelo.
All thumbs up. 👏👍 I had two very good professors before 1994 in my MBA degree and I learned everything from them. The best is to listen the entire 26 minutes. I figured this exactly out in the 90's. He wrote a book so I don't have to. Nobody will buy my book anyway. In the 90's I was searching for the best winning fund managers but found no consistency. That raised my suspension and found answers. After a period of I managed my own funds (hey, I had an MBA and probably better than many Wall Street managers), I refined and got exact strategy like he described, from my own experience and my own gathered stats.

As always Jack Boyle was right in that assessment too! I invested part of my available investment money in VWO and VGK for the last 30 years and they have woefully underperformed VOO!
A great reminder during these challenging times!

Board member of Vanguard, ofcourse he wants to sell those index funds.

Burton is a Legend, thanks for bring him in!
I’m very surprised he advocated for a U.S. Total Stock Market Index Fund before a Total World Market Index Fund

@Kyle, I've heard him recommend the total world stock (VT) from Vanguard in other interviews. I don't think you could go wrong with either one. These older guys like John Bogle and Burton Malkiel might have a bias to the US, since Bogle felt at the time he said it in the early 2000's, that the US is a proxy for all other world markets. That might have been historically true, but world financial markets are always evolving. Some are stronger than they used to be.

His excellent advice is a recognition of market sentiment as the correct guide for investing in equities. To hell with the actual numbers that are spewed out by gurus and executives and accountants at the companies. The real thing to watch is market sentiment. If sentiment is positive equities in general will go up in price. Equity investing is a religious experience. Do you believe?
I wonder how much money Burton has made from his books alone
Unconventional times require unconventional investors.
Wish he had covered how he is personally allocated in his 401K and outside of his 401K.

Malkiel and Ellis in different personal situations than most 1:51 They are both up in age and have lots of money more than they need so they have LONG term views for their kids and grandkids Stock index funds for most
I like his advice however, I think he shows his age when he keeps talking down crypto currencies. Although it is very volatile and still speculative, bitcoin has survived this long now and does not seem like it is going away (time will ultimately tell). If the sec and cftc are looking at regulations, it means it is taking that sector seriously

If one buys a stock market index fund, one buys everything in the stock market, including reprehensible commodities such as polluters, guns, gambling, tobacco, liquor, In other words, one sells one's conscience for profit. Malkiel knows this and approves of making money in any deplorable but profitable way.
