Dan Wiener: 5 Vanguard Funds No One Needs To Own

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: Vanguard won’t just come out and tell you that any of its funds aren’t top-notch. No fund company will — not when their goal is to sell you their products.

But I will.
I still think Vanguard is the best fund family around, but even the best isn’t perfect. Some of Vanguard’s funds are nurtured by expert managers and grow to be profit-building stars, but others are misguided, whether by poor managers or a fundamentally flawed investment strategy. These funds can doom your portfolio to mediocrity — or worse, major losses. And worst of all: Most investors don’t realize these funds are subpar
Regards,
Ted
