The only way to achieve your objectives is to consistently outperform the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Period. End of story.
That makes mutual funds bad investments, as the vast majority of them perform below the market average. Bad investments drain wealth.
Let’s imagine that your basket of mutuals outperformed all the rest and returned market returns for the last ten years; that is, you have matched the DJIA’s return from mid 2001 through mid 2011. During this time the Dow returned a total of 15%, or just 1.5% per year. Inflation during this same time averaged 3% per year, which means market performing investors lost 1.5% per year. This translates into big long term losses for mutual fund investors – and an awful surprise at retirement.
This is the reason many people arrive at retirement’s door with less money than they need and/or thought they’d have. It’s because they’re not making money in real terms. They’re underperforming the average and inflation is robbing their wealth like a thief in the night.
