Why Mutual Funds Don’t WorkWhy Mutual Funds Don’t Work
The problem with Mutual Funds:
Legally bound by investment “style”, i.e. Large Cap, Small Cap, Growth, etc.
Legally bound by “prospectus”, i.e. the investment rules of the mutual fund
Typically 88% of the assets must be invested according to the fund style and prospectus
The result:Money Managers are bound by a Broken System, forced to pick
the ‘best of the worst’No defensive aspect to investing, constant cycle of ‘Buy and
Hold (Hope)’ which has led to big lossesBig mutual fund companies have no incentive to change, they
make all their profit from the Broken System!
Active Money ManagementActive Money Management
What makes Active Money Management different from Mutual Fund Management?The answer is really quite simple; Mutual Funds by law and the mandates of the ‘prospectus’ must stay invested in the market, riding the ups and downs… purely an OFFENSIVE strategy that maximizes your risk, typically referred to as a Buy & Hold strategy!
Third party Active Money Management Firms are very different. The manager has FULL Discretionary Authority over the account allowing them to react to persistent market trends thus providing BOTH an OFFENSIVE strategy AND a DEFENSIVE strategy!
The discipline involves OFFENSIVELY catching 80% of the up (Bull) market while DEFENSIVELY avoiding 80% of the down (Bear) market… typically by moving out of equities in those devastating declining Bear markets which average a 34% loss every 5 to 7 years.
