Can someone please explain “a rules-based active approach” in the context of this fund which has over 1200 holdings? Does it put a formula into one end of an algorithm and a mix of shares comes out the other end?
I want to compare active and passive (or maybe I mean active and rules-based active) in global value funds. The Vanguard seems to be the longest existing of the latter but is only three years old. However over that time it compares well to active funds like the (curiously named) Artemis Global Growth. Is there an argument – or evidence – that says that active management has less benefit in value than in growth investing?

Yes sort of.... The fund is known as a 'smart beta' fund which in English means it's a passive index fund with a per-determined set of criteria in order to screen stocks which make up the index.
I recommend watching the following video for more information as it is explained better there:

From the same people, two other relevant videos:

(Interesting they class VVAL as active).

I like the pensioncraft series: they don't treat you like idiots.0
