17 Managed Funds That Have Beaten the Indexes Over a 17 Year Period

OAKLAND, Calif. - Jan. 30, 2017 - PRLog -- While broad index funds tend to beat the average managed fund, when one selects very low cost managed funds, managed fund outperformance of the index can become highly likely.

Over the last six years, a popular domestic Vanguard index fund has consistently beaten the average domestic stock fund; but over the last 17 years, the outperformance has been slim.

The index's outperformance is a result of, not surprisingly, much lower expenses; if higher expense funds were excluded, managed fund portfolios would actually beat the index according to data.

Further, if one looks at the performance of all 20 managed Vanguard funds that have existed since 2000, 17 of them have beaten the performance of the relevant index.

The average yearly outperformance of the entire 20 funds measured at the end of every year was 2.76% as compared to either the domestic index fund or an international one.

The never before published information and data this article reveals will be highly valuable to anyone who invests in mutual funds/ETFs or who works with such investors.
