A Fund That Trounces The S&P 500

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: Though it’s easy to find a stock fund that beat the S&P 500 index, even over periods of 10 years or longer, buying such a fund seldom results in continued outperformance. But I’m going to tell you about a mutual fund that’s different. Let’s call it “Fund X” for now and later I’ll do the big reveal on the fund and toss in a key lesson.
Regards,
Ted
