Making the Case for Active Investing

Downing Fund Managers’ Simon Evan-Cook joins this week to talk about the case for active versus passive investing. Cook says Jack Bogle, founder of The Vanguard Group and arguably the father of passive investing, did “more for individual wealth than anyone in history.” He deserved a knighthood for creating a low risk, reliable and comprehensive way of investing, Cook says. Nevertheless, the fund manager explains why he’s an investor in active funds, and discusses how to find the rare manager who might make you real money over the long term. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
