Good afternoon.
I am reviewing for my son some highly diversified one stop-shop funds from Vanguard. They have, as noted in the title, life strategy and target retirement funds.
I had noticed in the past that the distributions are only once a year and I sort of remember that the return I was having with those funds were lower than investing directly in the underlying index funds. Those pay off quarterly and monthly. So Vanguard is keeping the distributions for the whole year? Isn't that a drawback?
Should I steer him away from those funds? I want to make it easy for him so a one stop shop is what I am looking for.
Thank You.
