Keeping your investment fees low is one of the most dependable ways to increase your investment returns. Many investors chase investment performance by purchasing investments that have recently done well. Most quickly learn than past performance is not a good predictor of future returns. Studies show portfolios that own assets with low expense ratios perform better in the long run. Higher expense ratios usually result from too much trading or purchasing mutual funds that are making you pay for past performance.
Keep your portfolio fees low by owning individual stocks and or ETFs (which usually have low fees), and holding them for relatively long periods of time instead of constantly trading in and out. Even with low commissions; constant trading eats into your returns and increases you tax expense.
