Consumer Reports Not Qualified To Rate Funds
Posted: Sun Feb 20, 2005 3:42 am
About fifteen years ago or so, I used to buy monthly literally every financial magazine on the newstand. Enjoyed reading about funds and the pros who ran them. Some funds were doing very well then, and are still doing fine now. The author of this recent article though has left me bewildered.
Here are the ten year total returns for Vanguard's S&P 500 index. Also I've attached the returns over this time period for some of the funds listed in the article.
Vanguard S&P 500 Index 11.43%
Cliipper 16.17%
Yacktman 13%
ING Corporate Leaders 12.05%
FPA Capital 17.61%
So where's the author's beef?
