Another week another paper questioning my entire existence. This time Vanguard – noted galactic scale provider of index trackers – has a paper out saying index tracking is the way forward and it’s almost impossible for active managers to outperform.

However, the carefully selected active funds add much more to the overall portfolio construction than just seeking alpha.
