Investors continue to use active managers even with better index fund returns, Russ Greene notes
Why investors pick managers over index funds

Russ Greene questions why people continue to hire investment managers and consultants despite index funds historically providing equal or superior returns with lower fees.

He suggests that clients may hire consultants largely to confirm information they already know or should know.

Greene has previously pointed out that older Americans possess $110 trillion in wealth unlikely to be inherited soon. In April 2025, he noted high demand and backlogs for gas turbines driven by a few firms amid AI growth. Both themes reflect Greene’s ongoing focus on market structure and capital distribution.
