Active Funds Shone In Selloff, Just Like They Said They Would

FYI: For years, it’s been the same refrain. Don’t bail on active management, you’ll regret it when the market turns sour.

And while the selloff that ripped through equities this month has been too short to prove anything, early returns suggest they had a point. Thanks to differentiated bets on stocks, equity mutual funds beat benchmarks across the board from Jan. 29 to Feb. 6, with those in the large-cap growth style doing best, data compiled by UBS AG show.

    Hardly surprising is that active funds generally have a fair amount of cash , Index funds do not.There is an argument that active fund should be benchmarked/compared to 90 or 95% index and 5 or 10% cash.THat will at least show whether there is good stock picking.
