Brian is single and 32 years old. He is employed as a buyer for a large sporting goods retail chain and
participates in an employer-matched 401(k) plan. He remembers hearing about the benefits of passively
managed portfolios in a college investments course he took. Therefore, he is directing 100% of his 401(k)
monies into an S&P 500 Index fund. He has also been investing all of his discretionary income into a
regular account with the same S&P 500 Index fund. Brian's goal is to retire no later than his 55th birthday.
Is this the best investment strategy for him?
A. Yes. Because index funds are passively managed, they don't have as high a turnover rate, and lower
turnover rates result in lower tax bills for the investor. Brian gets diversification and a lower tax bill.
B. Yes. He is investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks that is passively managed, so he isn't having to
pay big management fees.
C. No. The S&P 500 Index consists only of large, domestic stocks, so Brian isn't as diversified as he could
be, and his investments may not grow fast enough for him to retire on his 55th birthday.
D. Both A and B are reasons that Brian's strategy is the best strategy for him.
