Index-tracking funds can provide ordinary people with a reasonable pension

Article Abstract:

It is becoming increasingly widely accepted that index-tracking investment funds can produce better long-term yields than those which are actively managed. On average, four out of five actively managed funds do not provide a return which is greater than the return on the market as a whole. Even where an actively managed fund does perform well, benefits can be eroded by high fees and transaction costs. It is likely that passively managed funds will become increasingly popular.
