Data from S&P Dow Jones Indices shows that the returns of most Australian active fund managers have lagged their benchmark index over periods of one, three, and five years. Mid-cap and small-cap funds are the only ones to have outperformed their benchmark over these periods, according to data up to the end of June 2016. BetaShares MD Alex Vynokur notes that global themes and decisions regarding asset allocations have become a major influence on returns.
