have you guys heard of a fund company called capital group? they run american funds in the US, and charles ellis wrote a very flattering book on them. i looked up their website and virtually all of their funds beat the index – how does that happen? I heard they are available in Canada under the brand “Capital International” and their fees seem to be much lower than most brand name funds…..

any thoughts?

The PH&N series of mutual funds have relatively low MER and perform well compared to their peers. Tom Bradley was the CEO of PH&N until 2005 so his fingerprints are all over both companies.

Now to see if RBC ruins it…

I forgot to mention that I hold the same opinion for fixed income as I do for large caps… Why hold them in a fund and pay any MER at all? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to buy a GIC or T-Bill. It does take a little more consideration when looking at long bonds, but it’s still not like brain surgery. Besides, in a rising interest rate environment, holding individual securities is less risky because you’re likely to get all of your principal amount back upon maturity, whereas that’s not likely in a marked to market bond fund as they don’t mature.
