THE BIG SECRET THE MUTUAL FUNDS DON?T WANT YOU TO KNOW?INDEXING!
Non-indexed mutual funds try to keep it secret that actively managed mutual very funds rarely do better stock market indexes. The higher fees of the managed funds really make it hard for these funds to out compete indexed funds. Smart financial journalists occasionally rat out fund managers for not educating the public in this regard. When this happens the mutual fund managers make a feeble attempt at self defense by pointing to something called the 5% rule. This rule says that for a fund to market itself as diversified it cannot have more than 5% of 75% of the funds total assets in a single stock.
In other words, a fund can have 25% of its holdings in a single stock, but the remaining 75% must follow the 5% rule. The 5% rule was created by the Investment Company Act Requirement. Fund managers claim that this hampers their performance instead of admitting that they are in the business just to clip you for high fees while the mutual fund under-performs the general market. The truth...

Hedge Fund Advertising
HEDGE FUND ADVERTISING Have you seen all those big full page adsfor hedge funds in the Wall Street Journal, theFinancial Times, Investors Business Daily? Youhaven't. Maybe they are being drowned out by theregular mutual funds who continually tell youhow great they are. Shucks! I forgot. Hedge funds are not allowed to advertise. I wonder why.
Maybe they thinkthat their potential customers are too dumb toknow that hedge funds are a poor investment. Could be. The Securities and Exchange Commissionis trying to protect investors ? I think? To be able to buy into a hedge fund thesmallest investor must have a net worth of$1,000,000 and an income of more than $200,000per year. Maybe the SEC doesn't think thesefolks are bright enough to know a good thingwhen they see it. There are other groups that are major investors with the hedge funds.
Literally billionsof dollars are invested by university endowments,charitable trusts, state and corporate pensionplans. Could it be that they...
