"Investors Group Advises Leverage for 75-Year-Old Widow of Modest Means

In late 2006, Mary (not her real name), a 75-year-old widow, accepted the advice of her Investors Group advisor to borrow $50,000 to invest in mutual funds. She has maintained this loan for over 6 years now. Mary is an intelligent woman, but not an experienced investor. It’s easy to see how this move was good for Investors Group, but very hard to see how it was good for Mary."

Посмотрел я на паевые фонды от Investors Group и обалдел! Большинство фондов имеет MER более 2.5%, а самый дорогой - аж 3.77%! У самого большого их фонда (http://globefunddb.theglobeandmail.com/gishome/plsql/igf.fund_pro?fundname=Investors+Dividend-A&pi_universe=IGF_FUNDS&product_id=), в котором $14.67 Billion, MER равен 2.54%, да ещё и продают они его с Back End Load.

Ужос! Ужос! Обдирают людей!
