Five from 5i - Disruptors

5i Staff Jun 27, 2015
  1. Apple has a good kind of problem - They are generating too much cash!
  2. Uber has a bigger problem: Independent contractors.
  3. Is the messaging service 'Slack' too much fun?
  4. Is the efficacy of a 60/40 portfolio becoming questionable?
  5. Morningstar points out some of the highest fee mutual funds.

ICYMI, we talked about how advisors can gain an edge over the growing threat of robo-advisors earlier this week.

I've heard that an investor would likely have a better net return by throwing darts at a target containing all the stock symbols and investing in those where the darts land rather than engaging an advisor and paying the unreasonable fees typical in Canada.

Maybe you could have some fun with the staff and test it out vs some of the larger funds in Canada.

5i provides a much needed service for the little guy - the greatest bargain I have ever experienced.

Did 5i readers check out the fees for these "high fee funds?" What is expensive in the U.S. Mutual fund world would be bargain basement fees in Canada!!
