Publisher's Synopsis
Fact-based investing Fact-based Investing is now available to you. You pay no commissions or fees which reduce the amount you keep. If you are a long-term investor, you avoid giving up 63% of your potential accumulations because of charges. This is our first fact: John Bogle, founder of Vanguard, the largest mutual fund firm, found that over 50 years of the normal 2% fees on your portfolio, you can actually end up with 63% less than you could have earned. It is simple math: your money earns 7% but the advisor, firm and trading/timing take 2%. Instead of $1.4 million at $250 a month you end up with only $670,000. Fact two: This is exactly what happens to the average investor over time. DALBAR keeps track of returns and found that the average managed-account equity investor earned just 3.79% a year over 30 years ended 2014. Inflation was 2.7%. The market benchmark returned 11.06%. Fact three: We can invest in a fund that tracks the benchmark at the low cost of 0.04% and so earn 11% over time. This fund is available to us with no 'load' or commission. There are no hidden charges or 12b-1 fees. You don't need a lawyer or advisor to buy or own this fund. Fact four: We can even eliminate any current or future taxes on the growth of our money as it compounds in a tax-advantaged retirement account. We avoid the charges to start and maintain these tax-advantaged accounts. Future earnings are FREE of tax. With Fact-based Investing, you can earn the 10-12%: the historical average for the stock market on your long-term money. You could end up with over a million dollars in your lifetime. And you can accomplish that with one phone call today. Manage our account once a year. You do not need an advisor or learn how to pick stocks. Fact five: No advisor or computer system has proven to beat the market returns over time. The important part is 'over time' since Wall Street makes its money by promising to beat the benchmark. There is only one manager who has done it: Warren Buffett. His record is 20% a year since 1965. He says buy the Vanguard 500 Index Fund. Start your million dollar account in 1 hour FREE.
