Investing With American Funds Is Like Betting On Tiger Woods

in Fund Discussions
FYI: American Funds is a fabulous actively managed fund company. But they want you to invest based on what they used to do. That’s like betting money on Tiger Woods today.

    Please note that many American funds are available to tax-defer accounts, the R classes, the 5% front load is waived. Their dominance started to decline when inexpensive index funds are widely available in many tax-defer accounts.

    Why would I want or not want to invest with American Funds, depending on whether I agree or don't agree with this analogy ?!?!?!

    Whatever happened to simply explaining how people invest?
