investment activities you
would be better off leaving to
the experts
Don’t
try this

“For a Vietnamese retailer or
a Thai agricultural company,
the accounts may be in a
different language, created
using different accounting
standards”
H
uman beings are
programmed to want
more – that’s why we
invest in the first place.
But this is also why every so often we
will look at the high charges on one of
our funds and ask, “what exactly am I
paying for?”
Unfortunately, too many investors
who attempt to “do it themselves”
learn the answer to this question the
hard way, whether that is through
underperformance, absolute losses or,
in some cases, financial ruin.
Overleaf are some of the activities
undertaken by fund managers on a
daily basis that retail investors really
shouldn’t try at home.
