Why Should you Be a Passive Investor?

Don't Take Our Word For It! Listen to what some of the most successful investors of our time say...

"Most investors, both institutional and individual, will find that the best way to own common stocks is through an index fund that charges minimal fees."
Warren Buffet
Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway

"All the time and effort that people devote to picking the hot hand, the great manager, have in most cases led to no advantage…Most individual investors would be better off in an index mutual fund."
Peter Lynch
Former Manager, Fidelity Magellan

"Any pension fund manager who doesn’t have the vast majority - and I mean 70%-80% of his or her portfolio - in indexed investments is guilty of malfeasance, non-feasance or some other kind of bad feasance"
Merton Miller
1990 Co-Recipient, Nobel Prize in Economic Science

"The evidence on investment manager’s success with market timing is impressive-and overwhelmingly negative."
Charles Ellis
Author, Investment Policy
