"Some fund managers' ability to research and identify stocks is below par. They don't deserve the expense ratio they are charging their investors," says Kolkata-based stock analyst Basant Maheshwari.

I used to wonder what sort if investors keep their money in such MFs.
And now I find that I am one of them. I've kept various 4-5 year money in MFs and don't even know their current NAVs
 
I've put my money in Reliance and HDFC MFs

Fortunately cashed out from my MFs around 5700-5800 except some ELSS.. I realised its better to pay tuition fee to learn rather than pay them with nose and do even think of getting out performance let alone good return.

When I was introduced to TED, I was 100% in MFs, now thanks to the lessons learned here, I have switched gradually to equities.
 
A 2% yearly difference in the returns you get on your investments can have HUGE impact on the earnings in the long run.
 
A big thanks to TED and Basantji for educating the finanicially illeterate folks like me.

Rahul

Thank you. Yes, TED has beaten almost all MF and money managers hands down.

Best strategy is to have a small portfolio and manage it yourself. Excahange traded funds are also good alternative to mutual funds as they dont carry expense ratos like mutual funds.

About fund managers :"Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them".
Every day, self-proclaimed stock market "experts" tell us why the market just went up or down, as if they really knew. So where were they yesterday?
