Lies, Damn Lies and Mutual Fund Returns
How many times has this happened to you? You're at a social
function and the conversation turns to investing. Pretty soon,
people are comparing how well their investments are doing. As you
might imagine, being an investment advisor this happens to me a
lot. However, I recently had an experience with it that startled
me.
Bob, one of the guys I was chatting with at a party, asked what
kind of returns I had made for my clients with my methodical no
load mutual fund strategy during the past year. I replied that they
had unrealized gains of slightly over 29%, after management fees,
for the 8 months that we were invested.
Bob countered with a smirk that he had made a 40% return. I
raised my eyebrows and told him that was darn goodâ€"and
suggested that maybe he ought to be managing my money. At that
point we were interrupted and, as the evening went on, I began to
wonder exactly how Bob had gotten his great return.
I cornered him a little later on and, upon digging a little
deeper, the story looked somewhat different. Yes, he had made a 40%
return on a mutual fund he had some money invested in, however, we
were comparing apples and bananas.
He had a total portfolio of $100k. Being cautious, he had
invested only $10k into a mutual fund, from which he profited $4k
after he sold it. The balance of his portfolio ($90k) was sitting
in a money market fund earning some 0.35% per year.
So, while he had made 40% on 10% of his investment, he had only
made 4.35% on his whole portfolio. My methodology was also focused
on protecting my clients' investments and it had increased their
entire portfolio 29% (unrealized). That would be an apple to apple
comparison when measuring my returns against his. Bob's one fund
realized 40% return. However, had I approached it the same way Bob
had, I could have described one of the funds I used that had
realized over 49% for the same period.
Actually, Bob's not-so-good-news story didn't stop there. Bob
admitted to having followed the losing Buy and Hope strategy
through the bear market of 2000 and had finally sold out at a 50%
loss a year ago, before committing $10k to a mutual fund
investment.
I was pleased to be able to tell him that my methodology had
gotten my clients out of the market before the bear took his big
bite, and they suffered only minimal losses before finding safety
in money markets accounts. And when my trend tracking figures
directed us to move back into the market, they still had most of
their money poised to start earning for them againâ€"which it
did and very nicely, thank you.
The moral of the story is to look past the surface and don't
take any numbers thrown at you at face value. Remember, most people
returning from a weekend in Las Vegas will shout about their
winnings and mumble about their losses.
