Common questions.
Mutual funds vs. ETFs?+
Both provide diversified exposure, but ETFs trade throughout the day while mutual funds price once daily. ETFs often have lower expense ratios and greater tax efficiency.
Active or passive?+
In highly efficient markets like US large-cap, low-cost index funds often outperform after fees. In less efficient segments, skilled active managers can add value.
How important are expense ratios?+
Expense ratios directly reduce returns. A 1% annual fee difference can reduce wealth by 25% over 30 years. We prioritize low-cost options for passive strategies.
Tax considerations?+
Funds distribute taxable gains regardless of whether you sell. ETFs typically offer greater tax efficiency. For taxable accounts, we favor tax-managed funds.
