Go to the interactive charts on Yahoo Finance and see how your chosen mutual funds do compared to various index funds or ETFs. Then calculate where the fund fees take you.

I expect you will find winners as
1. ETF
2. Index Funds
3. Actively managed mutual funds
In spite o that, if correct, the diversification in an actively managed fund, may be right for many investors. I'd rather be invested in a low performing fund than in cash or CD's.
I haven't done this, as have not most investors, because we all want to think we're smart and we're proud of our successes. ETFs, well chosen, may be the winners.
Let us know.
