How do you build a core investment portfolio?

That was our challenge for this financial video series, produced for the Globe and Mail and sponsored by Blackrock.

For this project, we went old school, tight interviews and with classic animated graphics. In this video, Blackrock’s Chief Investment Strategist Russ Koesterich illustrates how to build a solid core investment portfolio. Koesterich explains the elements that go into a solid, well-designed portfolio: Global Diversity, Fundamental Indexing and low cost management fees – in two minutes – in language almost anyone can understand.

New to investing? This is a strong primer.
