Why it pays to be active in today’s market
The past 10 years or so have been tough for active fund managers, but the stage is set for them to regain their edge, argues Toby Gibb, Head of Investments at Artemis.
Be a hunter.
Not a tracker.
In a volatile investment climate it can pay to hunt profits actively. If you only track an index, there is a danger of finding unpleasant surprises mixed in with profits. That is why our Hunters have always taken the selective path, relying on the instincts of a hunter, not a tracker.
