Index Funds: The 12-Step Recovery Program for Active Investors is the book that inspired the film, written by IFA Founder Mark Hebner.
Index Funds: The 12-Step Recovery Program for Active Investors is a documentary based on the book that is changing the way the world invests by replacing speculation with an education. Author Mark Hebner describes his foundational beginnings that ultimately led to the revelation of the ugly truth—that brokerage firms did not get rich by enhancing their clients’ wealth, but rather (and ironically) by depleting it.
The data provided in charts referring to IFA Index Portfolios is hypothetical back-tested performance and is not actual client performance. Performance data for the IFA Index Portfolios is shown net of IFA's highest advisory fee and the underlying mutual fund expenses. IFA Indexes when shown individually do not reflect a deduction of advisory fees. None of the data reflects trading costs or taxes, which would have lowered performance by these costs.
