Record S&P 500 Runs Away From Mutual Funds Trailing Index

in Fund Discussions
FYI: Fund managers, flush with $4.7 billion in fresh cash, are running out of options to catch up with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) after trailing the measure’s record rally.

    It seems to me that unless you want to take the risk of a concentrated fund the odds strongly favor having your large cap investments in an index fund.Go for active management in mid cap or maybe even better in small cap.This seems particularly true if you have a large cap investment in a taxable account where distributions can be annoying at tax time if you are not taking the money but reinvesting dividends.
