What do you mean by outlive their investment? I use http://www.mutualfundstore.com/ and i would like to know the answer to this!
ReplyDeleteHi Etahn, It doesn't matter where you buy your mutual funds. The truth of the matter is that many mutual funds will die out before you do. The authors of this research report (both are long-time investment professionals, neither of whom sell mutual funds) say that its never a good thing when mutual funds merge or die out. You can listen to the webinar recording, download the research report, etc. by clicking the link above. If you want to read a good book on the subject, go to Amazon now and buy Tim McCarthy's book due out Feb 4, 2014 "The Safe Investor: How to Make Your Money Grow in a Volatile Economy." http://www.amazon.com/The-Safe-Investor-Volatile-Economy/dp/1137279109
