The gist of “I Will Teach You to Be Rich” from Ramit Sethi (vol.36)

Mutual Funds

Mutual funds with higher fees than index funds typically charge 1 to 2 percent of assets managed annually. Also, it is managed actively by fund managers, whereas the index is managed passively. But, there is no reason to pay exorbitant fees for active management because the key is to get better returns for lower cost. Again, pay less in fees and get superior performance.
