Low-cost mutual funds have virtues beyond being cheap

"While cost savings are one obvious advantage of low- or no-fee mutual funds, there are some others investors may not realize, writes Lewis Braham. These funds also exhibit low volatility, which may help investors resist the temptation to trade too often." 

Low fees leave more money to invest. Low volatility discourages costly trading. The combined result: better returns.
