Since the Odyssey funds were first opened in late 2004, they’ve matched or beaten the performance of their like-managed Vanguard counterparts.

Even if you can't find a similar fund managed by the same team, you can often find a fund that’s just as good but managed by another team. For example, when I looked for a team that could match the performance at the closed Vanguard International Explorer, I came upon a group of managers at Fidelity (though one of their funds is now closed) as well as at T. Rowe Price International Discovery. All have comparable skill in providing great returns in international small-caps.

I hope you found this video helpful. To get my recommendations for other closed funds, sign up for my newsletter, The Independent Adviser for Vanguard Investors. Each month I’ll bring you independent and unbiased in-depth information on Vanguard funds, including the best funds to buy, alternates for closed funds, advance warning of funds likely to close, changes in management, and much more.

Annoyed at Vanguard? Here’s How You Get Attention—Fast!

Most times, Vanguard’s vice presidents can solve your problems. But there’s nothing more frustrating than thinking you’ve reached a resolution and finding that, well, the problem remains. In that case, take it right to the top. I suggest you drop Vanguard Chairman John Brennan a letter explaining what went wrong and how you’ve tried to get the problem resolved.
