E******w 发帖数: 2616 | 1 单独开一篇文章讨论一下我对于各种mutual fund的看法。
首先,买卖一个mutual fund,成交价是当天的收盘价。mutual fund没有额外的交易费
。为什么规矩是这样定的,而不是按照股票手手续费呢?因为mutual fund总的来说是
按照每天的买卖交易,以及各种开销,最后“计算”出一个收盘价,保证mutual fund
的管理方收支平衡。比如你下了一个买单,也许mutual fund公司是当天早上就帮你买
了相关的股票,但是他们不会告诉你这些细节。他们在当天收盘以后进行一个结算,算
出该收每个客户多少钱。这个结算最终体现在mutual fund当天的收盘价上。
明白了这个道理,你也许会产生一个疑问。mutual fund公司到底怎么买卖股票的,买
卖了什么,具体最终的expense里面包含了什么?是简单的百分比的管理费,还是连公
司大楼清洁工的工资,各员工的度假开销都算进客户的expense里面了?对这个问题的
回答,可以让你了解什么Mutual fund可以碰,什么mutual fund不可以碰。
假设一个mutual fund有很多hidden charge,会产生什么后果呢?直接后果是相关的
mutual fund的价格会随时间慢慢下降(相比它持有的股票价格来说)。在资金量很大
的前提下,这个下降的速度可能很慢,象慢性失血一样,用户不一定会有明显感觉。但
是如果这个mutual fund放到股票市场上去交易,会出现什么现象?显然,会有聪明的
炒家,买同样的股票,但是同时short这个mutual fund。这样,mutual fund的用户不
但需要支付mutual fund公司的运营费用,还要支付这些聪明炒家的利润。如果存在这
样的机制,敢过分收取维护费用的mutual fund,他的客户会很快被人short到破产。因
此大家可以注意到,基本上所有的retirement account里面的mutual fund都是不会在
股票市场交易,也就是不允许short的。这样这些mutual fund可以随意增加hidden
charge,只要客户傻傻的感觉不出来就好。
理解了上面这些内容,你会知道不要去碰那些actively managed fund。因为他们做的
是什么,到底有什么hidden charge,你根本无从得知。而且市场也没有自动的监督机
制。所有的回报率的说辞纯粹是出于你对他们的“信任”(这个信任没有任何基础)。
相对actively managed fund来说,index fund的好处是,虽然你也不可以去short他们
,但是不管它有多少hidden charge,你把它的长期股价和相应的index比较一下,就可
以统计出它真实的expense ratio。这个数字一般和它们公布的expense ratio差别不会
很大。但是,如果你对自己的资金负责的话,你是需要自己去验证,而不是轻易去相信
他们的数字的。确实有个别的号称是index fund的东西,它们的expense ratio和发表
的数据差别不小。世界上总有想投机取巧的人的,如果你上当了,怪不得别人。
以上是我对mutual fund的看法。如果是普通的股票账户,我不会去买任何不可以被
short的东西。因为不可以被short,就给了他们收取hidden charge的可能。退休账户
没有办法,因为我们没有这么多选择。但是,正是华尔街知道大部分人不会去做细致的
研究,他们会搞出很多令人眼花缭乱的mutual fund,期待你随便选一个expense ratio
很高的fund给他们输血。比如Fidelity,他的S&P index fund的expense ratio非常低
。可是同时他还给你一百多个各种各样的mutual fund选项,你以为那些fund的expense
ratio都只是字面上写的那么简单吗? |
E******w 发帖数: 2616 | 2 顺便问一下,这里有几个人买index fund之前会下载历史数据自己统计一下它真实的
expense ratio的?还是纸上说是多少你就信是多少?

deserve, maybe even luxury vacations, 也可能因为high trading cost/high turn

的原因。 你别去买他们就是了。所有的MF都有prospectus, 里面有balance sheet, 你

E******w 发帖数: 2616 | 6 市场里有index ETF,和index mutual fund。从你的理解,可能你不知道他们有什么区
别。但是ETF是象正常的股票一样可以被short的。如果它的expense有什么特别的猫腻
,市场会立即把这些问题放大。
简单的例子,如果一个fund XXX号称是S&P index。可是和正常的index相比,他有5%的
expense ratio,或者说股价有5%的decay。那所有的人都会去买index同时short XXX。
这可以毫无风险地获得5%的年回报率。在这种情况下,fund XXX的decay会因为这些
short变得更大。大到买fund XXX的客户可以察觉并退出的地步。这样不久这个fund自
称是index fund的谎言就支撑不下去了。这是自由市场的威力。如果一个fund不允许被
short,这些问题就会被隐藏很久。
我没法说服你改变你的看法。但是,如果你自己的资金有百万量级,不把上面的问题想
清楚,你不觉得有点不那么对自己负责吗?

费用?现在所有的交易都是电子的,还有外部的审计人员,这帮人还会搞假账准备进监

active mutual fund的问题是经理为了做大,会不会冒进,造成你本金的损失。另外
Active的买卖次数难免比passive要稍微多一点,税收极大影响active基金的compound
。这其实就是为什么active基金比不上passive基金的主要原因。

happen. Some fishy scheme behind?
So see, even though I didn't check, plenty of others would monitor that and
raise questions. He went as far as calling the 401k holding company and
asked how the fund follows index.
I got interested -- not alarmed -- so I took a look. Yeah, fund follows
index well. A few base points higher in one fund, a few points lower in
another. Why? Tracking error I bet. So yes, tracking error can be positive
or negative. As to my colleague's question? He was using index,not total
return. 2% was the dividend he missed.

你也炒股,难道不觉得除了赚到的那点钱之外还有附加的乐趣吗?想象一下,不单单是
你自己那点钱,而是可以管理几亿资金,自己的成功操作可以改变成千上万的人的生活

p*****y 发帖数: 529 | 28 你被皇上误导了。 mutual fund有两种, 一种是benchmarked to index, 另外一种是
total return fund. 其中index benchmarked fund占绝大多数, 因为market is
driven by institutional investor (pension and retirement) and they like
benchmark driven fund? why? because they typically do asset allocation
themselves but rely on mutual fund manager to provide them with "proper"
exposures. Large/small cap, or domestic/international equities are all
different kinds of exposures. By properly exposed to the market, you get the
market return of that segment (e.g. Large or small cap). by using a fund
manager, they try to get excess returns over the market (benchmark). and a
lot of times, they don't want the fund manager to go too far away from the
benchmark (high tracking error) since they are afraod not getting the right
exposure. These methodologies are far more sophisticated than what the guy
depicted as a conspiracy.
The mutual fund managers charge a fix percentage fee but as thie AUM (asset
under management) grows, their comp goes up. and there are two ways for aum
to go up: new money and growth of existing monry - fund return or
performance. So how do they have the incentive to screw your return, or
their comp?
stop listen to the guy. go read some investment book and you'll be far more
better.

u****e 发帖数: 99 | 30 I'll try this one.
Financial advisor may not be a good idea, 2% er definitely a bad idea, but
40% bond may not be. Bond is there to control risk. Do you really know your
risk tolerance? Many, or actually most, overestimate their appetite for risk
, especially in good market times, like now.
So I would say get out of those funds for the expense reason but not for
bond reason. And who knows if the fed will raise interest rate or not. Tune
out the noise. If interest tate increases 1%, which is unlikely, then an
intermediate bond fund will lose 5-6%, temporary. That's not too big a deal.
And then yield will go up and you won't lose much.

u****e 发帖数: 99 | 32 On attitude and danger of market:
Attitude is important. I study and learn. I've met some smart, and I think
really smart, people, who gave the advice of using index fund. They tried to
beat market, they won, they eventually lost. The more I read. The more I am
convinced I am among the majority group that will not beat the market. You
can call me coward, I call that knowing oneself.
I pay due diligence on things I do not understand and want to understand.
Somebody recommends index annuity with all sorts of rosy pictures. I would
read the fine print to find out what's hidden. All that only leads to the
agreement with already established concensus that complicated financial
product is seldom a good product for consumers.
I understand how index fund works. Concept is simple. I buy in the
principle, then I don't fuss about it anymore.
Market is dangerous? I'm not sure. I really think human greed is dangerous.
I think if I really know my risk tolerance, have an appropriate
allocation commensurate with my risk level, and I can stay the course, then
I should be fine. I have doubt about myself, not the market.

E******w 发帖数: 2616 | 35 Let me ask you this.
If you can control yourself to only use index fund, that means you know
yourself and can control your "greed". Then, why you think you will not be
able to control your greed if you enter the ground of active trading and
using leveraged tools like options and futures?
I know you choose not to touch these things. But is it really hard to
believe that some people can still control their greed even if they do
active trading and use leveraged tools?
Many people like to drink alcohol, but not everyone will lose control to
become alcoholic. Why every time you talk about people doing active trading,
you want to believe that they will not be able to control themselves
eventually?

index, they should be almost identical. Think about which company you are
likely to stay long term then use that one.

u****e 发帖数: 99 | 40 I feel you are changing my definition of scope of greed.
No, I am not sure I can control my greed very well. Greed is part of human
nature, a weakness, at the same time a strength. Human race makes to its
current form partially for being greedy. Desire to outperform, to gain more.
I am merely aware of this tendency, but not too sure I will control it well.
Going for index, and try to perform "benign negligence" is one way for me to
deal with it. If I follow too closely on all the market news, I am afraid I
will start to tweak my asset allocation.
In stock market, greed may make somebody rich, and it may bankrupt some
others. I want the upside but dread the downside more, and I choose to keep
away from it.
As to others, I didn't really think about others when I wrote about "greed"
-- it was mainly a reflection on myself -- but now thinking about it, yeah,
I don't have much confidence in ordinary people's greed control either. But
I do not mean a specific person. And I do not blame them either. Who am I to
criticize people. People get fun out of playing the market too. As you said
, if someone knows what he is doing and can take all the consequence, that
should be all fine. Just that I think many market timers don't really know.
trading,

w***n 发帖数: 1519 | 41 Well, You know what your edge is if you got one ;-)
Put your goals and "rivals" into perspective and you will see.
For indexers, it's easy. Buying & holding index funds and doing absolutely
nothing most of the time can easily give you an edge over... you have seen
how dumb the average investors can be.
For market timers, you have a much higher bar and quite a battle ground to
compete with the hedge funds, high frequency funds, algorithm traders, well,
all the Sharks. Do you make decisions in 15 seconds based on a few lines on
the charts, which pretty much everyone knows about? Do you trade in and out
quickly from one stock to the next, keep looking for the next big thing,
but in reality keep being whipsawed and slaughtered? In other words being
merely another "average investor"? Or, are you, on the contrary, the
predator?
I'm sure you can figure this out if you have been in the market for several
years.
