Financial Standard Comments - Large funds outperform: APRA APRA has entered the argument over fund scale, releasing research that finds larger funds outperform smaller ones. https://www.financialstandard.com.au/feed/latest/?story=12786051 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:51:37 +1100 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:51:37 +1100 en-AU Copyright 2026 Financial Standard 5 Comment by Chris Briant () "policy implications are that 'fund members... benefit from consolidation in the not-for-profit sector'", YET there appear to be no policy implications stemming from the noted dysfunctionality in retail funds, whereby fee %s rise as FUM grows.

To say in general large funds outperform is a misnomer. Once again I would love to see the data source because on the funds that I manage and or sit as an investment adviser on a committee the larger players are not getting close to their benchmarks nor can some of them provide an actual return which is staggering.
