I am a fee-only advisor registered in the State of Maryland, charge less than half the going rate for investment management, and seek to teach individuals how to manage their own assets using low-cost indexed exchange traded funds.

What it costs.

This is my first attempt at a video post, so it's a bit crude; but I hope viewers will bear with me. In reviewing it, I see I emphasized the trading costs of active mutual fund managers; but I should point out that would also be true of any manager who engages in active trading.

    Enjoyed the video, good first effort. I've been pretty good at picking mutual funds that have beaten the market, but haven't that nasty capital gains surprises that come in late December. After taxes I'm probably still beating the market long-term, but of late I've been shifting my resources over to low-cost index funds to cut down on the turnover and expenses.

    Thanks for the feedback. I beleive you are moving in the right direction. Charles Ellis talked about the futility of active trading decades ago but the average investor out there refuses to accept it.
