Simplicity Outperforms Complexity Every Time

You’ve read dozens of blogs, joined multiple forums, and subscribe to a half dozen newsletters—each shouting the next big strategy. Your portfolio reflects it: biotech here, value there, dividend growers, small caps, emerging markets—you name it. All you see are colored rectangles on your screen and transaction alerts pinging on your phone.

One quiet Sunday, you revisit the original index fund brochure from your broker. You realize that holding one fund that owns the entire market would have captured nearly every gain you needed. You brew another cup of coffee while your mid-cap growth screams into a 5% loss. You sigh, thinking: “It really is that simple.”

Behavioral science tells us we suffer analysis paralysis when faced with complexity. Each new fund becomes a “shiny object”—but more exposure doesn’t always equal better results. Studies confirm that higher portfolio turnover and diversification beyond 30 holdings often hurt performance.

By streamlining to a single, low-cost, broad index fund, you eliminate decision fatigue, reduce costs, and protect yourself from the urge to tinker. Your wealth compounds quietly, reliably, and with far less stress.

Now picture setting up a one-click transfer: you move 70% of your equities into a single total market index fund, and schedule monthly auto-buys. You delete every other ticker from your app. You feel a weight lift as your portfolio becomes a single, powerful engine for growth. Do it today.
