Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: The American Funds family of mutual funds has a winning formula for long-term investors: Offer compelling actively managed funds that can rival the long-term qualities of passively managed index funds. Regards, Ted http://investorplace.com/2015/08/best-american-funds-long-term/print
