Active fund managers trail the S&P 500 for the ninth year in a row in triumph for indexing

div > div.group > p:first-child"> Active managers who claim that they would do better during periods of heightened volatility are going to have to find another argument.

"The figures highlight that heightened market volatility does not necessarily result in better relative performance for active investing," the report said. The study will bolster the claims of many financial advisors, who say that investing in low-cost, passive funds remains the soundest long-term investment.

Long-term, the numbers were not much better in other categories like small-cap stocks or fixed income:"Over long-term horizons, 80 percent or more of active managers across all categories underperformed their respective benchmarks," the report concluded.

The problem. No prediction going on. No future price target identified before entering trades. Most managers try to only perform the market. If they would try to beat it by a large margin, they could probably do better, if they could accurately predict. The Profitmost Prediction

“For the ninth consecutive year, the majority (64.49 percent) of large-cap funds lagged the S&P 500 last year.”... Wait, so 35% of active managers beat the S&P 500? That is awesome!!

Meet with a financial advisor then did the research to handle it on my own and make money. My retirement and investment accounts continue to preforms better than expected and I’m not charged a dime. I thank Fidelity partially for the zero funds they have and RobinhoodApp

While I’m sure this is true the only stat that matters is the “investor” return not the “investment” return. Investors that self own index funds don’t grow their pile of $$ at the same rate as investors that have an advisor. Investor return is all that matters not investment

There's nothing to manage. The market isn't even a market anymore. It's just a hot air balloon full of MMT and 'trade optimism'.
