Chuck Jaffe: What Fund Managers Say About Your Money Isn’t Always What They Mean

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: The inauspicious start to the year coincides with the time when mutual fund managers are writing their annual notes to shareholders. Now a manager must explain average or mediocre results from 2015, as well as allay the rising fears shareholders have after 2016’s rocky start.

Yet too often there’s a difference between what fund managers say and what they mean. Knowing the catch phrases and double-talk can help you determine if your manager has courage in their methods and convictions, or are spewing sewage.
Regards,
Ted

    Sorry, Chuck ... but you're no Jason Zweig. His 2015 "Devil's Dictionary of Finance" is a must-read. This was a thinly-veiled homage to that at best. Useful, sure -- but clearly trying to horn in on his work.
