Because FreedomFund 2055 charges three-quarters of a percent per year management fees:

Vanguard index 500 would cost you seven-hundreds of a percent.

You are paying Freedom Fund ten times as much to manage your money and you are unlikely to get as good a result.

And if you don't like Vanguard, that's fine, Schwab or any of a number of other index funds have FAR lower expense ratios than Freedom Fund.

You really need to check an Andrew Tobias investment book out of the library and read it on your next long deadhead.
