In this short video, former NHS GP and seasoned investor Ndubuisi 'Andy' Egwim introduces doctors to common investing pitfalls. Drawing on over 20 years of investing experience, authorship of the bestseller The Moneywise Doctor, and teaching thousands of doctors about tax‑efficient investing, he explains that the real issue isn’t picking a fund but understanding what the fund actually buys and how it fits the doctor’s risk tolerance and financial goals. He promises to clarify what an index fund is versus an ETF, how to use diversification to lower risk, the four key checks he makes before investing in any fund, and a mental framework to stop over‑thinking and start investing.

We feel like, oh, are we going to make a big mistake? I've been an investor for over 20 years. I'm a former salaried NHS GP, and I'm also the author of The Moneywise Doctor, which was a bestseller on investing and personal finance. In fact, over the last 2 years, I've run about 2 dozen masterclasses, and I've taught 4,411 doctors tax-efficient investing. So what I've seen is that choosing the fund is rarely the problem. The real problem is understanding what you're actually buying and how it aligns with your risk and your goals. But by the end of this video, you understand not just what an index fund is and how it's different from an ETF, but you also understand how to think about diversification to reduce your risk. I also tell you the 4 things I check before investing in a fund and how to stop overthinking and finally get started. If that's what you're here for, let's dive in.
