For an eye opener, and reason to do it yourself, instead of using funds, put dividend stocks vs. Pey, or DVY. The funds haven't been around for ten years, so you need to use five. Looks like turnover ratios of 57% and 25% only add to the problem, along with I am sure, having to sell at just the wrong time to meet redemptions. 5 year example: PEY -48.15, DVY -29.48, JNJ -8.50, PG +11.71, CLX +12.34, ED +0.11, etc... Speaking of monkeys throwing darts, five year SPY -11.99. They can't hit the wall, let alone the dart board. lol! Professional management. hehe Way over rated, unless you consider they are professional enough to get people to give them their money. google.com
