3 Fund Portfolio: The Lazy Way to Invest

April 23, 2019 By Kevin | Just Start Investing

A 3 Fund Portfolio is a type of lazy portfolio that contains only three investments.

It’s called “lazy” because of how simple it is to set up and manage. Though, for once in your life, investing with a lazy portfolio is a situation where being lazy can pay off.
