im_da1_ur_parents_warned_u_about asked:

2.i m from Pakistan, Arif habib investment is the group i wanna invest in with a SMALL AMOUNT, in mutual funds. He is also the president of Pakistan stock exchange. that i am sure is a plus point.

3.ETFs have to be handled by oneself. on the contrary i am a salaried person have no time to take care of my investment or buisness. so i need managers to look out for me. they have been working for the past 5 years. their minimum is 26% profit, max is 80% in 2002. the charges 1.5%. by long term i mean 5 or 10+ years.

4. how long would should an investment on average take to double in such a mutual fund?

5. can mutual funds in Asia sub-continent really meet inflation rate?

6. Are there other investment opportunities which one u think is best and why, for a person like me, ? i m looking forward to looooooooooooooooooong detailed answers. Thanx :)

    ETFs are cheaper than mutual funds. ETFs have very low annual expenses, nearly 20 basis points or 0.2% less. As against this, actively managed mutual funds show average expenses exceeding 135 basis points (1.35%). This does not include the extra 2% – 5% as loads, 12(b)-1 marketing fees, transactions costs, and soft dollar expenses mutual funds, passed on to you but never informed, except in very fine print that nobody cares to read. ETFs have a lower turnover than most mutual funds. As ETFs do not require active management and hold nearly a steady stream of stocks, there is hardly any portfolio turnover.
