Compared to an investor who only purchases retail mutual funds (equity & Canadian) which get the average return of that fund group, I'm probably going to be up by 2% and possibly a shade more.<BR/><BR/>But what about the investors who buy the different classes of funds and pay less MER? or investors who buy low cost mutual funds. I'm only up maybe 1% on that group. <BR/><BR/>A final group might be investors who only buy stocks. They might have costs even lower than mine so their performance could be better because of that although they wouldn't be as diversified. <BR/><BR/>MikeFourPillarswww.four-pillars.canoreply@blogger.com
