Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Champions of active management say that nimble bond fund managers are going to be essential as the market navigates higher rates, which may be coming later this year. Those in the passive camp say the benefits of that agility are oversold and the funds aren’t worth the extra management expense.
