Lewis Braham: Is Your Fund Being Front-Run ?

FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google Search)
Wall Street is Darwinian by design. The trader buying a stock wants to scalp the one selling it, and vice versa. But what if the seller has no choice but to dump her shares and the buyer—or worse, a short seller—knows this in advance?

That’s the situation many mutual fund managers are in today. According to Morningstar, U.S. actively managed funds had $297 billion in outflows in the past year, as investors have shifted to lower-cost index funds and exchange-traded funds. The trend is unlikely to abate—ever. And that could spell trouble for managers forced to sell into a market full of vulture investors and hedge funds looking to pick them off.
