This is really good data about the investing game, and it looks like smart money knows it best.
During the Dot-com bubble and GFC 2008 era, active trading funds accounted for 80% of all funds.
But as time went by, they realized that beating the market is almost impossible and only a handful of people can do that.
This is reflected in the passive fund portion rising all the way to now almost 60%, with active traders at only 41%.
So, let this data sink in. Even smart money, funds, and asset managers with all their resources and Bloomberg terminals still think it's tough to beat the market.
Time in the market beats timing the market, every time.
