3 Destinations Mutual Funds to Buy for Consistent Returns
Read MoreHide Full Article
Destination mutual funds provide diversified investment by blending active and passive approaches across multiple asset classes. The funds undergo a disciplined asset allocation process with a classification of investments into growth, stable, and diversifying parts, along with the provision for making tactical allocations by virtue of macroeconomic trends. This adaptive model enables portfolio managers to benefit from market opportunities and have a strategic long-term view. All these make Destinations' mutual funds a reliable investment option.
We have chosen three Destinations mutual funds — Destinations Equity Income (DGEFX - Free Report) , Destinations Multi Strategy Alts (DMSFX - Free Report) and Destinations Low Duration Fixed Inc (DLDFX - Free Report) — that investors should buy now for the long term. These funds have a Zacks Mutual Fund Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), positive three-year and five-year annualized returns, minimum initial investments within $5000 and expense ratios considerably lower than the category average. So, these funds have provided a comparatively stronger performance and carry a lower fee.
