The American Association of Individual Investors held a webinar event on Wednesday, February 2, 2022.For this week’s Individual Investor Show, we sit down with Charles Rotblut to delve into our annual mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) guides and reveal on which funds made the 2022 cut. We analyze the top- as well as the worst-performing mutual funds and ETFs, specific trends we’ve noticed and anything new or noteworthy. Hear about the criteria Rotblut uses to weed out the “fads” from the “fabs.”In the second part of the broadcast, we chat with Matt Bajkowski on his article, “The Benefits and Risks of Small-Cap Funds,” which highlights the good, bad and ugly of diversifying your portfolio with small-cap funds.
