About Arete

Should I consider index funds?

We believe for many people, index funds can present an excellent value.  The management and transactions costs are very low relative to "actively” managed funds because they are designed simply to replicate an index.  For many people, it is much more important to develop an investment plan and to contribute to that plan on a regular basis, than it is to find the best manager for any given asset class.
