Where's the competition? I don't get it. Given that they’re not taking any risk since they invest other people’s money, how can this be justified!? Where’s the competition? I don’t get it.

I’m both proud and guilty of being an IGM Financial shareholder. I’m proud because IGM has been steadily increasing revenues, profit margins, earnings and dividends, while maintaining Return on Invested Equity above 20%, and decreasing debt levels. I’m guilty because the prosperity rides on back of investors’ ignorance. Let’s face it. By analyzing Investors Dividend’s top holdings, one can easily conclude that Investors Dividend fund is nothing more than a closet index fund with a tilt toward dividend paying stocks. Even an amateur like myself can assemble an index look-alike portfolio. Heck. Pay me 1/100th of $291,117,000, and odds are favouring me to beat this fund over the long-term.
