Helping investors traverse financial markets and build their wealth during the peaks and troughs is Janus Henderson Investors head of Australia Matt Gaden's game plan. He tells Karren Vergara why in this long game of investing, active management wins.
Lies, damn lies and statistics. I am utterly confused.
The article states that the number of SMSFs utilising retail fund managers has doubled yet further down the article indicates that the funds unders adminstration have increased in the 4 years from $21 billion to $42 billion. So I doubt the number of funds has increased by a factor of two.
Now if I assume we are talking about FUA then in 2009 $21bn represented 6.5% of total assets, so if the $42bn represent 8.5% then the market share has not doubled. It has however still grown by about a third of its previous base.
