As promised, I will reveal the industry's scandal. This scandal is not a secret but regulator as usual turns a blind eye to it: Active managed funds do not outperform their passive managed counterparts. I beleve this will be the next class action lawsuit. Here are the data:
How many funds underperformed Vanguard European Stock Index? 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | 88% | 94% | 84% | 65% | 99/112 | 93/99 | 79/94 | 32/49 |
How many funds underperformed Vanguard Emerging Market Stock Index? 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | 88% | 90% | 88% | 75% | 270/306 | 205/227 | 168/190 | 85/113 |
How many funds underperformed Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury? 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | 98% | 99% | 100% | 99% | 359/367 | 344/346 | 325/325 | 226/228 |
