Active fund managers, who pick and choose investments rather than passively track indexes, have failed to cash in on the financial market volatility caused by COVID-19, new data has shown.

Fund managers have long complained that low market volatility makes their lives hard. But S&P's SPIVA scorecard showed that 63% of large cap funds and 70% of large cap 'core' funds had still underperformed Wall Street's S&P 500Mid-cap and small-cap active funds performed relatively well, with 56% of mid-cap and 53% of small-cap active managers beating their benchmarks.

However, their success was not enough to offset previous underperformance: 92% of large-cap growth, 74% of mid-cap growth, and 75% of small-cap growth funds have underperformed over the past 15 years, the data also showed.
