Every March, millions of people fill out March Madness brackets.
And lose.
Because they overthink the wrong teams.
In their 401(k), they own bad mutual funds.
Not enough of the best 401(k) mutual funds available to them.
In March Madness, no one gets points for effort.
You win or you go home.
Your bracket picks the winner or it does not.
Since 1979, the NCAA has seeded teams.
To keep the strongest teams from knocking each other out too early.
And keep the TV ad revenue stream following through the tournament.
Seeding isn’t a guarantee.
But it’s a smart place to start.
What this has to do with your 401(k)?
Most individual 401(k) investors hang on to lower-ranked mutual funds.
And don’t own enough of the strongest mutual funds on their 401(k) menu.
The fact is your 401(k) has mutual fund seeds.
You’re not using them.
401(k) mutual fund seeding is Relative Strength.
Relative Strength ranks each mutual fund in your 401(k).
A series of head-to-head investment performance rankings.
Each mutual fund ranked versus mutual funds with the same style.
Each mutual fund ranked versus major market benchmarks.
Each mutual fund in your 401(k) ranked versus every other mutual fund.
The higher the Relative Strength score, the higher the mutual fund seed.
Your 401(k) mutual funds have a similar history as March Madness.
Sometimes a lower seed has a great run.
Most times a higher seed wins in the end.
Your March Madness bracket predicts winners.
