Why so many active funds underperform…

Clever Adviser Technology have launched a video presentation titled “Are your funds even trying?” which sets out to:

  • Establish why active funds underperform
  • Test a hypothesis of closet indexing as a significant force
  • Improve fund selection

Clever’s extensive research project came up with findings which include:

  • Closet indexing is rife in UK asset management and adversely affects success v benchmark
  • Fund age is a significant factor
  • ‘Similarity to benchmark’ is a strong predictor of outperformance potential
  • Manager skill can be observed and predicted

The presentation includes the Clever Process which allows them to outperform benchmark 73% of the time in major equity markets as opposed to the 54% of the average manager.
