"Active management has investors chasing returns that all the studies show, just don't work," said Solin.
"What Wall Street does is package luck and sell it as skill. The real data shows that passive management, actually in the last 20 years has achieved a greater return than active management."
In the segment, Dan Solin references a study by three professors (Barras, Scaillett, Wermers) to back up his claim that Wall Street is in business to "package luck and sell it as skill". The conclusions of the study are consistent with what John Bogle has been saying for decades.
...we find a significant proportion of skilled (positive alpha) funds prior to 1996, but almost none by 2006.
Their findings strongly suggest very few actively managed funds truly outperform in the long run.
