John Oliver’s brilliant segment on investing

It’s not often that the media makes any mention of the low-cost, transparent investment philosophy that we care so deeply about. Which isn’t surprising, because it’s boring.

So when someone as talented as John Oliver spends 21 minutes on the topic, it gets us (and those who share our tiny corner of the financial services industry) pretty fired up.

The clip below is a remarkably well-informed takedown of the ugly side of our industry: phony advisors, huge (and hidden) costs, active investing, and retirement plan rip-offs. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
