<prompt> Human: Ive been investing for over a decade now via my brokerage account and IRA. Ive been in a bunch of mutual funds, a few small hedge funds, a handful of ETFs, and plenty of individual stocks. Currently also have an IRA from my former employer on Wealthfront.My personal view is that actively managed equity funds like mutual funds can be the best path for many people to compound at above-average rates of return. Its worked well for me, but its taken a lot of trial and error to find the right funds. Most mutual funds underperform, while only the top 10-1537; outperform.So... Ive decided to give my two cents here about my favorite equity funds for long-term compounding. Some are relatively new, while one is decades old, but they all have a similar philosophy behind them which works for me.--- My Favorite Actively Managed FundsPortfoliosAll three of these have time-tested strategies and strong teams behind them, based on my diligence.
