Assets Under Management
The fund has $3 million in total assets, which is below the $2 billion average for the Foreign Large Blend category.

However, for some investment categories, such as small-cap investing, it may be difficult for the manager to fully employ the desired active strategy if assets grow too large or too quickly.

While it is difficult to predict returns, it is known that high annual expense ratios reduce your rate of return, and excessive fees are difficult to overcome.

It is best to compare fund expense ratios against the category averages for meaningful assessments.
