Doug Fabian has unveiled his latest list of mutual fund lemons. The list for the first quarter has 2,335 mutual funds with a combined $718 billion in assets. To make the list, a fund has to underperform its peer group average for the last 12 months, as well as for the last three- and five-year periods.
"Investors need to wake up to the reality that many mutual fund managers do not perform as well as many exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with the same investment objective,” said Fabian, president of
Fabian Wealth Strategies, a Costa Mesa, California-based fee-only RIA specializing in ETFs.
The lemon list includes
Dodge & Cox Stock,
American Funds Bond Fund of America,
Fidelity Magellan,
Davis NY Venture and
Fidelity Equity-Income.
