Solution

The incorrect statement is: "Since a value and growth fund can be combined together, then it makes no difference in terms of performance."

This is not necessarily true because the performance of a fund is not solely determined by its type (value or growth), but also by other factors such as the skill of the fund manager, the specific stocks chosen, the timing of trades, and the overall market conditions. Combining a value and growth fund does not guarantee a certain level of performance.
