Sure you can get to ER in a lot of ways, but staying there is just, if not more, important.
A portfolio made up of 60% Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Admiral Shares and 40% Total Bond Market Index AS has an expense ratio of about 0.1%.
According to FIRECalc a 4% withdrawal rate at 60/40 split and a 10bp expense ratio has a 96.2% success rate over 30 years.
If you leave everything else the same and increase the expense ratio to your 62bp, the success rate drops to 90.6%. At 1% the success rate falls to 82.1% and at 1.25% plummets to 76.4%. Clearly expenses matter . . . a lot!
Further, the above example does not take into account the higher tax drag of managed funds or the higher transaction costs incurred by the trading within the portfolio. All those commissions paid to churn the portfolio don't show up in the published expenses but are real costs that eat into returns.
On top of all that, you better hope your manager does not underperform the market or your chances of staying ER'd drops further.
You'll excuse my skepticism that any "research" can determine which mutual funds will outperform the market on a going forward basis.
What, pray tell, do you do in year 3, or so, when you learn that your star fund manager just quit? Sell the fund and pay the gains taxes so you can buy the next "winner"?
