Tip: Be Wary of Turnover

When deciding which fund to invest in, make sure you take a look at the turnover rate on the prospectus.  High turnover results in high costs which are correlated with a lower return.  The Bogleheads estimate that costs due to turnover equate to about 1% of the turnover rate, and as we know any extra cost you incur comes right out of your investment.
Another reason you should always read the prospectus!
