Quote of the Day
"The challenge for active managers is not from the outside. It comes from within. It comes from the many tens of thousands of investment professionals who have raised the level of skill required to succeed at active management--and from the tens of thousands of new entrants who join the industry each year."
(John Rekenthaler)
