Financial sector and profits

The financial industry is making too much money at the expense of ordinary people. This article explains why you should invested in a low cost indexed fund, or an exchange traded fund, like the STI ETF. Don't pay high fees for actively managed mutual funds or unit trust. The average expense ratio in USA is 0.81%, which the article considered to be high. In Singapore, most funds have expense ratio of 2% to 3%. Imagine how much considers in Singapore are being charged !!!
