Why this is worth 20 seconds

Fund fees are quoted as a small percentage, which is exactly why they don't feel like anything. Converted into the dollars missing from your balance after a decade, they stop being abstract. We do that conversion using the fund's real returns — which already include its fees — against the boring index fund you could have bought instead.

It is not always bad news. Some funds genuinely earn their keep, and this will say so. A tool that only ever delivered one verdict wouldn't be worth trusting — the same reason we published the time our own research was wrong.

Vorrik Research publishes tests of publicly discussed trading strategies using public market data. Where a test was also run with our own money, the article says so. It is factual reporting of what happened in historical and past live tests — not investment advice, and not a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Past results never predict future results.
