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: It makes sense that in the growing number of conversations I have with investors around how to reach their personal financial goals in a more positive, responsible or impactful way, we eventually come to the question, “What does it do to the return on my portfolio?” Many assume it could limit return, partially because there is a lot of misleading information out there, but also because there is a need to understand how the area has evolved into a very dynamic and innovative financial process.
