.....and that is just looking at Vanguard's VWRL never mind some of the other index funds - so perhaps the huge charges make a huge difference All the large global ITs have done better over the last decade (and shorter periods). They have greater transparency, much less complexity, and much lower fees. Good luck to those who are trading it, but as a long term investment it has lost its way. But your favourite, SMT, hasn't? Anyone putting up a global equity fund against RCP has missed the point. A 100% equity fund has done better in a huge bull market? What about the next ten years? SF100 summed it up nicely above. I think people just need to get over this - if you like RCP, great, if you don't, great. We all make our choices.
