According to Jack Bogle, the author of <em>The Little Book of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/common-sense-pamphlet\/\">Common Sense<\/a> Investing<\/em>, turnover costs are approximately 1% of turnover rate. To illustrate, a mutual fund with 40% turnover would cost investors about 0.4% in associated fees. Moreover, Bogle observes that in 2016, sales and purchases within mutual funds totaled $6.6 trillion, or 78% of the total $8.4 trillion in mutual fund assets. Consequently, he concludes that the average mutual fund costs another 0.78% to its investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Scholars have confirmed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proquest.com\/openview\/a3581726d17428aa673827d03702a218\/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&amp;cbl=31458\">high-turnover activity has a statistically significant negative correlation with average returns<\/a>\u2014in other words, actively managed funds with greater trading activity tended to deliver lower returns than those with less trading activity. Consequently, some experts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/ask\/answers\/021616\/what-good-turnover-ratio-mutual-fund.asp\">caution against investing in funds with turnover rates above 30%<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By contrast, because index funds are held indefinitely, they have little-to-no turnover costs. In fact, Bogle states that the TIF\u2019s annual portfolio turnover is about 3%, costing investors a minuscule 0.03% of their assets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Index funds only require turnover when their underlying index changes its composition. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investmentnews.com\/inside-the-sp-500-adds-drops-and-tall-tales-63227#:~:text=Each%20year%2C%20about%2020%20to,days%20before%20the%20index%20change.\">between 20 and 25 stocks leave the S&amp;P 500 annually<\/a>, meaning that 20 to 25 new stocks enter the S&amp;P 500 annually. Consequently, index funds that track the S&amp;P 500 sell their shares of stocks that left the S&amp;P 500, then purchase shares of stocks that joined the S&amp;P 500.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: According to some experts, high portfolio turnover is a symptom of <em>short-termism<\/em>: The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unglobalcompact.org\/take-action\/action\/long-term\">tendency to focus on short-term gains<\/a> to the detriment of long-term success. For example, some have claimed that <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarship.law.columbia.edu\/faculty_scholarship\/1928\/\">quick-trading hedge funds are too focused on turning a short-term profit<\/a>. Still, others observe that <a href=\"https:\/\/jcl.law.uiowa.edu\/sites\/jcl.law.uiowa.edu\/files\/2021-08\/Tucker_Final_Web.pdf\">portfolio turnover rates have remained steady since 2005<\/a>, indicating that short-termism isn\u2019t becoming more rampant, at least.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-hidden-cost-of-taxes\"><strong>The Hidden Cost of Taxes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to turnover fees, Bogle also argues that<strong> mutual funds lose more money to taxes because of their high turnover rates<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mutual funds are tax-inefficient, Bogle claims, because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/personal-finance\/101515\/comparing-longterm-vs-shortterm-capital-gain-tax-rates.asp\">stocks held for less than a year are considered short-term gains<\/a>. Further, because short-term gains are susceptible to personal income tax, mutual funds with high turnover rates can leave investors on the hook for personal income tax\u2014up to 37% for the highest tax bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Profit from index funds, on the other hand, is considered a long-term gain, since index funds are normally held for longer than a year. Consequently, index fund investors only pay a capital gains tax, which is normally 15%. So, Bogle concludes that mutual funds cost investors more in taxes than index funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>How to Minimize Taxes Owed on Investments<\/strong><br><br>To maximize your return on investment, experts recommend a variety of strategies to reduce the taxes that you owe.
