This Week:
Ordinary Consequences of
Extraordinary Recklessness

It should be evident that the recent credit crisis did not emerge as some unpredictable surprise, but was instead the very ordinary outcome of extraordinary recklessness. Though the mounting problems in 2005 were utterly ignored by the stock market for more than two years after this analysis was published, the fact is that even with the recent rebound, the S&P 500 remains below where it was in mid-2005. Overvaluation and reckless lending do not always translate into near-term market weakness, but they invariably haunt investors in the form of poor long-term returns.

Mutual Fund Brokerage Fees and Trading Costs
How much do mutual funds pay in commissions and trading costs? This is a question that the mutual fund industry seems reluctant to answer. In an industry already complicated by fees - sales loads, soft dollars, trailing fees, 12b-1 marketing fees - asking mutual funds to prominently disclose trading costs is unpopular among fund companies. We've decided to take the lead anyway. It's the right thing to do.

August 5, 2009: The expense ratio for the Hussman Strategic Growth Fund (HSGFX) was lowered from 1.10% to 1.04% today. The expense ratio for the Hussman Strategic Total Return Fund (HSTRX) was lowered from 0.75% to 0.67%. These cuts reflect active reductions in investment advisory and fund administration fees, the addition of new fee breakpoints (approved at the July meeting of the Hussman Funds Board of Trustees), and general growth in Fund assets. Fund expense ratios are affected by a number of factors including fee breakpoints and the level of Fund assets, and may increase or decrease over time.
