Active Managers' Market-Beating Claims Debunked
Monday 10 May 2010
New, more precise mutual fund style analysis shows active management still underperforms over time.
Wherever I look, the evidence keeps mounting up. For our clients, the evidence shows right you are to invest using passive funds through asset allocation strategies.
If you are not a client, and still believe your stockbroker will make money for you…
Have a look at this article from Richard A. Ferri, CFA, is the founder of Portfolio Solutions, LLC, a low-cost investment adviser firm in Troy, Mich. He has written numerous books on subjects ranging from asset allocation to index funds and ETFs.
He concludes… “When active managers as a group make the headlines because they "beat the market," it is not a triumph of skill, it is an error in measurement. New methods that properly adjust for style bias show that, as a group, active management is still underperforming passive management in all categories and over nearly all time periods”. Told you so ;)
