While browsing through the archives of Vanguard's Plain Talk on Investing Podcast series we came upon an interesting podcast that explains ways to measure a fund's performance. In this podcast, Joseph Brennan, principal in charge of Vanguard's Portfolio Review Group, explains how to measure a fund's performance, evaluate it, and actions to be taken if our investments are not performing according to our expectations.

Brennan suggests some practical tips which we can put into practice to give ourselves a fair chance at success in investing. After all, we have no control over the market, but we do have control over our actions. And the better our actions are, the more likely we are to succeed :).
