@aprile I’ve never though about that but that’s true.

@cardcaptorsakura I have never in any of my replies have said they underperformed. I did say they don’t “perform as well as their peers.” Also, if my rebuttal of a fund on a reddit page influences someone’s investing decision, am I really the problem? this page is for asking questions and such...
