Imagine two farmers preparing for planting season.
One chooses the cheapest seeds available. The other pays a little more for seeds with a long record of producing strong, reliable harvests. On planting day, the first farmer feels smart for saving money. At harvest time, only one of them is satisfied with the result.
Investing works the same way.
Every few years, there is a company or two that comes up with a new slogan. It's usually some version of, "low fees are the most important thing in investing". Lower fees, they say, are the difference between success and failure.
Fees matter. But only when all else is equal.
The only number that truly matters is what you earn after fees.
A company's advertised low cost portfolios have failed to deliver on their "retire 30% wealthier" slogan. In fact, those advertised portfolios have cost investors a lot of money compared to some other high quality products with a higher fee.
The goal has never been to own the cheapest portfolio. The goal is to own one that gives you the highest probability of reaching the life you’re planning for.
Fees are a line item. Outcomes are the destination.
Always keep your eyes on the number that actually matters.
As always, if you have any questions, please reach out! Have a great week everyone!
