Since this blog was posted over three years ago, has anyone taken the time time to find out if the returns have beaten the various indexes? Most of my fund portfolios have not performed that great since 2007, I think the average return is around 3%, which is only a little better than a term deposit.

I have found that prior to buying an ETF, it makes sense to compare all ETF’s in that space because some outperform others.
I am overweight in Dividend Stocks, but there are some that offer better value than others, likewhise with Corporate Bonds.
I have added India , 5%, I think this will do well.

Aggie – I sure could use some good personal finance reading. What book are you referring to?

HI!!

Thanks so much for the info.
I’ve read the smartest investment book you’ll ever ready and it was all about ETFs.
However, since I want to put money into my investment ever month the commission would hurt every time I buy.
My friend told me about mutual fund that can mimic the index to avoid the commission fee every month but I had no idea who offers this and where.

This is good information for someone who wants to start investing like me.

Thanks!!!

I am investing almost one million dollars into ETF’s, primarily XCB,XSB,XRR,XDV, and CLF.
Iam with TD and wondered whether TD Efunds would be a better alternative??
