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.

A 3 Fund Portfolio historically has a higher probability of providing superior growth and returns compared to actively managed portfolios. This is because actively managed mutual funds have a tendency to underperform the market, while a lazy portfolio simply attempts to match market returns while keeping costs low.
