So what's a practical way that an investor could kind of choose what ETFs to put in their portfolio?
13:04
So again, to your point about first and foremost, making sure that you have a plan, that you, you know, it's because again, when you construct portfolio, you need to think about your time horizon.
13:17
So I know people often say, you know, talk about investment, financial advice or investment advice.
13:23
But I think it's very important just because if you're looking to buy a house next year, your choice of ETFs will be very different to someone who's, looking to invest for retirement in 50 years.
13:37
But I think a great way of, once you know, I would start with just understanding what is your growth assets and income assets split.
13:45
So how many equities and risky assets you want to have and how many of the defensive assets you want to have.
13:50
And I think where ETFs work great is that you can then use them as building blocks.
