Studies have shown that most active managers underperform their targets (net of fees) over the long term.

If it’s a small percentage of your overall assets and if it makes you feel better, go ahead. But I wouldn’t put more than 5-10% of my long term assets in actively managed funds.

I believe it’s 80-90% of active funds underperform the indexes after fees, etc. Plus your tax liability is going to be higher with an active fund

Thank you. I does make me feel better to have 1 fund where someone is minding the store. I hear you on keeping it a small part of my portfolio.
