According to the Investment Company Institute, more than 120 million individuals in the U.S. own some type of fund. After all, they may not have a choice; the most common way Americans save for retirement is through an employer plan such as a 401(k), and in most of those plans, the only investment choices are a menu of funds. Robert Brokamp and Amanda Kish discuss the factors to consider when evaluating mutual funds and ETFs.

Also in this episode:-Interest rates are rising, bond prices are falling, and the Fed is staying put… as is Jerome Powell.-Approximately a third of car buyers who traded in a vehicle had negative equity, and auto loan default rates are at their highest level since 2010.-Almost half of retirees stop working sooner than expected, mostly not by choice, so factor a shorter career into your retirement calculations.-We’re already a third through 2026, so revisit those New Year’s resolutions from January by getting caught up with our “Year Well Planned” challenge.
