Frequently Asked Questions
How should I compare two mutual funds?
When comparing funds, look at three key pillars: (1) Consistency of returns over 3-5 years (don't just look at 1-year spikes), (2) Expense Ratio (lower is better as it eats into your returns), and (3) Risk Adjusted Returns (check if the fund is taking too much risk for the returns it's giving).
Is a lower expense ratio always better?
Technically yes, because a lower expense ratio means a larger portion of the fund's growth stays in your pocket. However, if a fund with a 0.2% higher expense ratio consistently generates 2% more alpha (extra return), then the slightly higher cost is well worth it.
