A Tip from The Skilled Investor posted at THE SKILLED INVESTOR Blog, saying, “Historical investment performance charts for investment funds might be historically accurate. However, their presentation in advertising, on line, and in printed materials can amount to lies from several perspectives. Performance charts are designed to lure gullible individual investors with an implied promise that superior past performance will continue. The financial research literature tells us clearly that on average this is a promise that cannot be kept. In other words, historical performance charts are a veiled lie. They may report factual information, but their purpose is to deceive. Here is why…”

There is roughly a 6 percentage point difference in their required annual savings rate between the “average” investment cost scenario and the low investment cost scenario. By reducing their investment costs they greatly reduce their savings requirements, yet they could end up at the same goal, which is to have adequate financial assets through age 95.”
