ReplyDeleteI run into many investors - do-it-yourselfers as well as those who have advisors manage their money and surprisingly, to me at least, many have no idea what their performance is. One of the good things about holistically structuring one's investments with ETFs is that it is fairly easy to calculate returns on timely basis - unless there are big cash flows which requires a bit more work.
ReplyDeleteI agree-good quarter.
