The systematic decline of active funds
Active funds have been subjected to continuous waves of attack from passive alternatives, and the gist of the argument is that they are in some way inferior to their passive peers. The reasoning is mixed, but the argument s primary drivers are historic underperformance over the past five years, lower fees and fund costs, and high tracking errors vs what investors are expecting.
Rupert Hare, co-head of multi-asset, Prescient Investment ManagementWhile these points are valid, they’re also often subject to some serious framing by passive funds looking to aggressively capture assets under management (AUM) from other asset managers. They leverage off emotional biases of investors like the anchoring of views on recent performance and a degree of framing bias.

Systematic investing is a rules-based investment strategy that follows a disciplined, evidence-based process, and itâs surprising that it hasnât been adopted by more fund managers.
Itâs been shown over time to deliver superior returns to pure active or passive investment styles. It is designed to take emotions out of investment. If the last year has demonstrated anything, it is that emotions are investorsâ worst enemy. Making knee-jerk reactions to market events without a dispassionate inspection of the data can cost a portfolio hugely over time.

Before the dotcom bubble, academic finance was slow to acknowledge the link between investors’ behavioural biases and financial markets. However, the field of behavioural finance is now well established and identifies two main areas of significance concerning systematic investing. First, there is a substantial body of evidence showing how difficult it is for non-systematic fund managers to make consistently reliable forecasts and decisions about investment risk allocation.
Second, there is an acknowledgment of these psychological biases’ effect on financial markets and the consequent opportunities for systematic investors in global markets. This can be evidenced by the fact that humans are risk-seeking when it comes to the opportunity to make very large profits (lotteries) and generally avoid the small probability of very large losses (insurance products). Furthermore, individuals will rely on relatively little historical information to make predictions with high confidence (t

In 1979, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky outlined prospect theory, which identifies economic behaviours that are inconsistent with rational decision making. Their theoretical take on probabilities and expectations could well prove relevant today in assessing the likelihood of historically low government bond yields being subject to potentially asymmetric outcomes.
One of the most significant insights from their theory is that people exhibit a significant aversion to losses when making choices between risky outcomes, no matter how small the stakes. Kahneman and Tversky found that a loss has about
two and a half times the “utility impact” of a gain of the same magnitude. In other words, people feel significantly worse about losses of a given magnitude than they feel good about a gain of similar magnitude.
