So I have considered taking a more active approach to investing, but every time I think about I am dissuaded by the findings that actively managed funds get beat over the long run by index funds. For example, the Buffet bet of S&P500 beating mutual funds, the lack of correlation between fund performance from year to year, the darts thrown at NYTimes fund, etc. All these things suggest to me that actively managing can beat the indices in some years, but will be balanced out in others.
I would be interested to hear more of your thoughts about this.
