7PS: When you bet against Warren Buffett πŸ’°


Read time: 1 minute, 244 words.

In 2007, Warren Buffett made a bold bet.

He wagered $1 million that an S&P 500 index fund would outperform a portfolio of hedge funds over 10 years.

A small hedge fund took the challenge.

They believed their active strategies could beat the broader market.

Buffett had confidence in his low-cost, passive approach.

πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Here's who won the bet​
​
(And how you can try this strategy with your portfolio)

Hope it helps.
