Why does Roxborough Capital use individual stocks and bonds as opposed to mutual funds?

0

Individual stocks and bonds allow an investor to custom-tailor their portfolio to suit their needs. While mutual funds are valuable for investors without the means to build a properly diversified portfolio, investors with portfolios that exceed approximately $100,000 can feasibly build a diversified portfolio without incurring exceptional expenses. Empirical evidence suggests that the minimum number of stocks required to build a diversified portfolio is about 25-30, which equates to about $3,000 to $4,000 per stock, an amount that allows an investor to purchase enough shares to benefit from lower transaction costs.
