PODCAST EPISODE 312 – Why Active Management Doesn’t Work

ByPaul Adams

Active asset managers promise market-beating returns, but the data tells a different story. In this episode of More than Commas, Cory explores why 90% of actively managed funds underperform over time and how patience, simplicity, and low-cost investing outperform stock-picking strategies. Through stories of legendary investors like Warren Buffett and everyday savers like Ronald Read, we uncover the power of long-term investing. Plus, we dive into the harsh realities of day trading and why even the best managers struggle to sustain success. Tune in to learn why the best strategy isn’t about working harder—it’s about staying the course.
