> NOTE: Always open a NISA account

You may want to mention that for US persons, this is an incredibly bad idea. Maybe add a disclaimer that this does not apply to Americans?

Thank you for your feedback! I have added a section called "Read this if you are a US citizen/Green card holder" which contains specific brokerage companies and rules applicable for US citizens.

There is some very misleading information about index funds investing here.

A low cost fund (Emaxis Slim S&P500) in a Tsumitate Nisa, reinvesting dividend internally, is an incredibly powerful investment.

That is the yardstick that value investors need to measure their performance against.

If you cannot beat the market, your just wasting your time.

Im sorry you feel this way, but this article does not mention what you should invest in at all. The choice of what to put in the NISA account is all yours.

I do think the Emaxis Slim S&P 500 is a great investment tool for those who want exposure to the US stock market at a low cost.
