<< Yet approximately 85% of the funds do not beat the S&P500, >> That's partly not their fault. Fund managers aren't allowed to purchase more than 5% of a single company for their fund. I'm sure plenty of fund managers have a few stocks that they know will do well but they are forced to dilute their holdings. Look at it this way. Every fund would have beaten the S&P 500 last year if they could have just bought MSFT or INTC, but they were forced to diversify. There are other restrictions as well, but I don't want to get into them. Any individual investor should be able to beat a mutual fund.
