In the US, the internal taxation of funds is different to the UK. It is very difficult for active management to beat passive in the US. Plus, the US market is very inward looking. Portfolios tend to be very US heavy.
In some markets, passive is best. In some areas, active can offer something. The key is to using both where they are best. Not being biased either way.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0
