[quote=OTAlexFA][quote=Anonymous]Why don't I just put my money in index funds rather than you? Will your fee + the returns outperform index funds + fees?[/quote] This one feels like a trap. :) In a bull market? Maybe not. Index funds are outstanding when everyone is making money. However, are you going to tactically manage those passive funds? If not, you can guess what happens when the market "corrects" (a term I don't like). You'll get virtually 100% of the market growth now and then virtually 100% of the downcapture, as well. There's no hedge. As most of us know from math, if you lose 20%, it takes 25% of gains to get back to even. Index funds are very popular, particularly on DCUM, I've seen. I like them. I use them. The question is, does it fit your strategy? What's your time horizon? What's your goal? Index funds are great; they just aren't a cure-all.[/quote]
