Why aren the Sound Mind Investing Funds listed as recommended funds in the SMI newsletter?
The Sound Mind Investing Funds are designed to be owned instead of the newsletter’s recommended funds, not in addition to them. Naturally you’re free to use the funds as you see fit, but their purpose is to allow you to buy a single fund and have the managers carry out the full Upgrading process for you within one of the SMI Funds. So rather than have to buy and sell funds on your own using the monthly newsletter recommendations, you can buy one of the SMI Funds once and forget about it, knowing it will continue the Upgrading process on your behalf without requiring any further effort or attention from you.
