Focus on the Future“Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.”It’s very difficult to beat “the market” in any one year and even harder to do this consistently. The only thing you know about the future is the expense ratio.

Initial/Subsequent Investment
Most funds have a large initial hurdle to overcome to get started.Lower subsequent investments once in the door.

ExpensesFunds charge investors fees and expenses. A fund with high costs must perform better than a low-cost fund to generate the same returns for you.Even small differences in fees can translate into large differences in returns over time.

Expense Exampleif you invested $10,000 in a fund that produced a 10% annual return before expenses and had annual operating expenses of 1.5%, then after 20 years you would have roughly $49,725. But if the fund had expenses of only 0.5%, then you would end up with $60,858 – an 18% difference.

TurnoverTurnover ratio: measures how long a fund
holds on to the stocks it buys. If a mutual fund trades often, it will have a high turnover ratio. It is better to have a lower turnover rate since every time it buys and sells, the stock incurs cost and the more cost, the higher the capital gains will be taxed.
Bottom line: the lower the turnover rate the better.
