Performance Measures of Actively Managed Equity Mutual Funds
R. Burlacu 1, P. Fontaine 1, S. Jimenez-Garces 1
(2009)

We study the performance of US actively managed equity mutual funds with traditional models and find, as in previous studies, that they obtain negative performance. We argue that this pessimistic result is explained by the excessively high expenses charged by managers. Managers justify these costs as being generated by their information acquisition activity.
