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: There’s a reason why the biggest mutual funds in the marketplace are the biggest. They generally combine low fees with high liquidity and broad diversification. In most cases, the largest ones are also those best suited to act as core portfolio holdings. Investors are attracted to the biggest funds for these reasons, and the fact that it’s easier to trust mutual funds that so many others have placed their trust in.
