Is your fund consistent?
Here's a simple
example: Fund A may have earned a 20% average return in each of the last three years.
By comparison, Fund B may have stalled for two
years in a row, earning negligible returns, before reporting a stunning 60% return in year
3. Both funds have an average 3-year return of 20%.
Which
one is better? Fund A, of course, because it’s more consistent.
