What the story claims
3 claims · each scored for market impact
Approximately 89.5% of actively managed large-cap U.S. equity funds underperformed the S&P 500 over the 15 years ending in December 2024. — Strong evidence of active management failure encourages a structural shift of capital away from high-fee active funds toward low-cost index trackers.
