Barron's Cover Story: Active Stockpickers Are Outpacing Passive Funds

FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google Search)
Passive investing had been declared the winner in the race for returns, beating stockpickers. But the race is still on, and suddenly, the stockpickers are surging ahead. After a slow start to the year, 60% of actively managed funds are beating the Standard & Poor’s 500 index since July 1, the highest level in nearly two decades. This at a time when money has been pouring into index funds at record rates.

    This year most of my actively managed equity funds lagged their respective indices while the bond and asset allocation funds excel. Not sure about the "60%" quote above when MFO is reporting so much funds are liquidating.
