It’s Too Hard To Find A Good Active Fund Manager, So Don’t Bother Trying, Morningstar Says

FYI: (This is a follow-up article.)

Only a small minority of active managers beat their chosen benchmark over multiyear time periods, but the best-performing funds do result in an outperformance that pays for the higher fees they charge relative to simple index funds. That raises the question of how to pick the right active manager.

The answer, according to Morningstar: Don’t bother. It’s too hard.
