Like in Vegas, you, and most people, can hit it big every now and then. However, the Fund Managers have such an advantage in information, key contacts and vast resources over individual investors it’s not even close. Like in Vegas, your best odds are 48.5%. In other words, you lose over time and the house always wins. Mutual Funds even the playing field for the individual investor in two ways. They spread your micro-economic risk by spreading your investment over many stocks so if one tanks your overall investment is not devastated and you let the Fund Manager work for you instead of against you. This greatly simplifies your job as an individual investor. Now you only have to pick the segment of the global economy that you think will be improving then then your mutual fund company and the fund to meet your goals. So you need to decide if the growth areas will be:
Small Cap, Mid Cap, Large Cap, Bonds, Far East, Pacific Rim, China, Europe, South America, Hi Tech, High Beta, Utilities, High Grade Investment Bonds, Junk Bonds, …….
And what mix of each? You don’t need to be keeping tabs on the latest law suit of XYZ’s consumer division or another company’s inventory level. Let the Fund Managers do that part. They can do it better than you. That’s the benefit of investing in mutual fund companies.
