    Index investing is the best option for the average person who wants to set and forget their retirement savings. Active managed funds are for people who want to beat the market, I argue about 10% of the population, willing to put in the time and money to surge ahead.
    Either option is better than not investing at all, drowning in debt, spending like there’s no tomorrow, and thus living paycheck-to-paycheck. Which is what most Americans are stuck with right now.
    So I don’t harp on people for choosing and sticking with actively managed mutual funds, an observation I see more than a few index fund advocates doing. It’s great to see passive index investing take off like it has; it’s not great to see index advocates lord it over their active managed contemporaries.

      Investing is only one component of financial planning. People are hungry for help with cash-flow planning, retirement, risk, estate, education, and anything else that deals with personal financial decisions. Glad that the industry is moving away from the sales of product. This is a great industry, and I suspect that people will always need help with financial planning.

I'm 30 now and this last year have been in the process of moving alot of my retirement savings into an index fund. To me investing in the S&P 500 is almost like an actively managed account. Because they add and remove companies based on their criteria. This helped me sleep better at night. Would this be a fair assessment of index funds.

I have a high risk tolerance enjoy benefiting from the gains from the small & mid size companies. Large caps won't always do as well as it has the last 10 years. Wouldn't surprise me if large caps do the worst in the next 10 years.

I'd like to Ad by saying having a Morning Star account has helped me out when picking ETFs and Mutual funds and stocks. In my Roth I have IJR small cap 600 and ONGAX mutual fund through Chase. I'm going to put the bulk of it in my IJR over the years but I'm also going to keep watering my ONGAX to keep it growing. When I plug all my investments into my Morning Star account it tells me I'm well diversified. I'm a little over 42 years old and I just started my Roth a little over a year ago and I'm hoping I find a good couple of advisors like you guys when I'm in my 60s.

      My mutual fund option in my 401K averages 7% higher in the 5 year return and a 3.5% higher 10 year return compared to the index fund options. The mutual fund expense ratios are 0.67% and the index funds are 0.02%. Plug those into a calculator for 30 years of what I'm contributing not even counting raises, the mutual fund will come out on top by $700k (assuming only a 2% return difference!). If the rate of return is substantial enough on mutual funds with some slightly higher expense ratios (assuming you're not in some absurd 2% fee with weak returns), why would you not go that route? There are many large cap mutual funds that have a proven track record of outperforming the index by a few percent. Even some the cheaper large cap Vanguard options perform well above the index. Unfortunately I don't have those as options in my job's 401k plan though.

    The ASG investor has paid 0.79% in annual fees; in other words, for every $100,000 invested, $790 will be taken out of the fund's performance to cover expenses. VOO will take out just $40.

    Get an active fund that has a proven track record of a decade or more outperforming the index by at least 2% and the fees are no longer a problem when you're talking fees of 0.7% vs 0.04%. There are plenty of large growth funds that are more expensive but will earn wayyy more money in the long run.
