Hi Young Investor33, Thank you for visiting my blog. As a blogger, I can’t give individual financial advice, so I can’t comment on whether or not a particular fund is a good investment option for you. I prefer to use indexes in my own investing for many of the reasons I outlined in the post, but you should work with a professional or do your own research to decide what is the best option for you.

Are you basically saying from this article that a fund like VTI is an index fund that makes more sense than many top performing mutual funds out there?

I think too often people see the results of studies summarized but don’t get the sophistication behind the methods used to attain the results.
I think your analysis shows people how risk is accounted for etc.and is excellent for many bloggers out there who have never seen the statistical techniques.

Thanks, hopefully it will provide some food for thought. I know my own investing practices changed for the better after I started to measure my results more carefully.
