Just because a managed fund outperformed a market doesn't mean it didn't happen by pure luck. There are lots of managed funds and most of them are not profitable. If each chooses portfolio randomly, some of them will outperform the market.


Can you please quote what you think you're disagreeing with me about or how your reply has any relevance to my post?

Did you perhaps intend to reply to someone else?


your post implies that - even though it's difficult to do - one could perhaps pick a good fund and be better off than investing into e.g. ETFs.

the poster you're replying to implies that this might not be possible at all if the successful funds only are so because of random chance.


I highly doubt rustamm or anyone partaking in this discussion is remotely qualified to know whether the most successful hedge funds, including Renaissance Technologies, Citadel, or Bridgewater are successful simply due to luck.
