Also can't access the story, but it seems safe to assume there are no funds that beat any index, no? The headline mentions the market, so if there were at least one fund that beat at least one of the market indices, it would seem difficult to maintain the claim. Or are you responding to the blurb before the paywall? > No actively managed stock or bond funds outperformed the market convincingly and regularly over the last five years. Index funds have generally been better. So index funds have generally done better than managed funds in a consistent way. It might be more interesting to know which managed funds (if any) did better than an index fund, but I'm guessing the real purpose of the article is to suggest you may as well just buy the index funds.
