## Resource

If you bought and held a mutual fund or ETF, what return should you earn—and why do some investors earn less? In this episode, we unpack the fascinating findings from Morningstar's Mind the Gap study and explore the difference between total returns and actual investor returns. You'll learn what the "investor return gap" is, why it exists, and how timing decisions, emotional reactions, and behavioral biases quietly erode performance over time.
