These are the types of reports I have been looking at when looking to invest funds. Hopes to have three choices for discussion at next Board Meeting. Re: Rate of return, higher rates also mean higher risk. How does the rest of Board feel on where we should go?
Matan: looking for consistency over risk. (Eric agrees)
Scott: Looking at (in general) 12-14% growth
Martin: Those rates are very high historically.
Mike: The linked mutual fund (above) has generated approximately a 7% return for the past decade.
Reviewed Mondo sales, mondo did outsell the IJA, leggings and joggers were popular add on items. Lower prices so sold more items as well.
