Jim, as you analyze the SPX take read this cbs.marketwatch.com If I would need to invest in something and not active in the stock market I would go for the SPX funds. Best performance over 3 years with relative little volatility. Big funds are just index funds in disguise, The fact is most large funds do tend to a middle ground -- they become pseudo-index funds. Here, the portfolios of each are diversified across about 500 funds. And their one year returns are close at about 22.6%, while Vanguard wins on a three-year return basis. Of course there are some big differences in other areas: - Management: Vanguard is passive, Magellan actively managed - Loads: Vanguard is a no-load, Fidelity charges a front-end of 3% - Expenses: Only 0.19% for Vanguard, Magellan is 0.61% - Turnover: Vanguard is only 5%, with 34% for Magellan Fund In the past, loyal investors tended to forgive Magellan for these little indulgences. However, this appears to be changing as new money is pouring into Vanguard's S&P 500 index funds at a faster rate in recent years: BWDIK HAim
