Comment on The Profit Motive is Not the Problem by Mike Moody

Thanks for your comment! I’m not sure that the slightly longer holding period that hybrid funds have really changes my conclusion that fickle investors and not the profit motive are much of the problem. (Maybe having a psychology background taints my view!) Asset allocation can be helpful, but investors’ holding periods of even hybrid funds are only about one business cycle. I think we all agree that “long-term investor” and acting like fiduciaries should play out over multiple cycles. Glad to see you are a blog reader. I enjoy your contributions to Advisor Perspectives as well.
