I have no problems accepting that some managers are able to beat the index. But it is hard to tell luck and skill apart. Many managers who appear to be skilled turn out to be merely lucky. I'm a passive investor and I control volatility by diversifying. The TSX did lose > 30% last year but my portfolio was down a lot less even though I'm mostly in stocks. The reason is bonds did well, US stocks weren't down that much etc. @Jerry: Fair enough. I have no problems accepting that some managers are able to beat the index.

I've been investing in CI Harbour for the last 10 or 11 years and this is the only Canadian large cap that I own. I do believe that the best and the most consistent money managers can beat the index over the long run. And I do not like my index fund loosing 40% when the underlying index does so, but I am OK with making "only" 20% when the index does 30%. Just my 2 cents.

It would be interesting to see the turnover in the list. @Henry: The list contains the largest mutual funds based on assets under management. According to Globefund PH&N Canadian Equity has $860 million which won't put it in the top 10. Of course, investors would be better off looking at these smaller but low-fee funds. @Andy: I don’t have access to Top 10 funds of 2005, 2006 etc. If someone has them, I’d be happy to take a look.

If you notice, PH&N and other mutual fund companies that do not have trailer fees are excluded. PH&N and Saxon have very good Canadian equity funds. Don't get me started on SMA200 again.
