High costs emerge as a silent drag on long-term mutual fund returns
A study shows high commissions have significantly eroded long-term mutual fund returns, reinforcing the importance of cost-efficient investing and careful plan selection.
A recent report has highlighted that a large proportion of mutual funds have eroded investor wealth over a 10 year period due to commissions and expenses. Even modest annual cost differences can significantly reduce long-term returns through compounding. The findings reinforce the importance of expense ratios, direct plans, and regular portfolio reviews, particularly for long term investors relying on mutual funds for wealth creation.
