The country’s biggest mutual funds are sucking up more and more of investors’ cash. But in many cases, investors aren’t getting much bang for their buck, Smart Money reports.
The country's 100 biggest funds bask in almost $3.5 trillion of assets. And the average size of those funds has soared by 62 percent since 2008.
Historically, the funds have grown both from attracting new investors and from superior investment returns. But now that the funds have grown so huge, returns are dwindling.
The average fund in the top 100 outperformed only about 40 percent of its peers over the past three years, according to the magazine’s analysis.
Over the last five years, the Growth Fund of America, the third largest in the country, has lagged behind 77 percent of its competitors.
"There are no benefits to a fund being bigger. Success breeds sloppiness," says Seth Lipner, a securities lawyer and law professor at Baruch College.
Part of the problem is that the larger a fund grows, the more difficult it is to stay nimble. The fund needs to buy a huge amount of stocks or bonds to hold a meaningful position.
And the universe of securities in which a huge fund can buy en masse without distorting the market is small.
The other issue is that fund managers are greedy for fees, and the bigger the fund, the bigger the fees, regardless of performance.
Manager Arsene Wenger believes it is "absolutely ridiculous" to talk about Arsenal as potential Barclays Premier League winners so early in the season - and urged his side to focus instead on their European aspirations against Napoli on Tuesday night.
The Gunners capitalised on slip-ups by their rivals to move two points clear at the top of the domestic table with victory at Swansea on Saturday.
Although Wenger may well have masterminded a superb winning run since the opening day defeat by Aston Villa, the French coach insists you are only as good as your next game, which will see Champions League Group F rivals Napoli and a certain Rafael Benitez come to the Emirates Stadium looking to put a dent in qualifica...
"You believe 100 per cent or you don't believe, so that is how much our belief (in the title) is," said Wenger, who reported no fresh injury worries and could welcome fit-again Czech playmaker Tomas Rosicky back into the squad.
"In our job the most important thing is to have a good balance between ambition and humility; ambition because of course we want to win (the league), but humility as well because we know we have only played six games and to speak today about the title is absolutely ridiculous.
"What we have done is to continue to have the same ambition and I think the team has a good humility level and is conscious that we want to improve."
Wenger continued: "What people forgot about is we are on a very long run, since March we have not lost a game and if you put that (the defeat to Villa) into perspective it was just one single game that we lost in 21 now, so I think it was a combination of factors.
"All this together made the situation a little bit explosive, but purely on the results perspective it (the Villa defeat) was an accident that can happen.
"It was just about responding with the qualities that we already have in our group."
Another three points against Napoli on Tuesday would put them in a strong position in front of the double-header against Borussia Dortmund, last season's beaten finalists who lost in Naples on match day one.
Arsenal were close to signing Gonzalo Higuain from Real Madrid earlier in the summer, before the Argentina forward instead moved to Napoli.
Wenger, though, insists there is no need to reflect on what might have been, with Arsenal eventually landing Mesut Ozil from the Spanish side in a club-record £43million deadline day transfer.
"It is not the best moment to talk about transfers today. He was on the market as you know and several clubs were in for him," Wenger said.
"I do not think it needs to be talked about again."
Wenger feels Benitez deserves great respect, the former Liverpool and Inter Milan coach having landed another top European job following what was a testing, but ultimately successful campaign as interim manager at Chelsea.
"He is a top-class manager, he has proven that, so when you are confronted with his teams, you know it will always be difficult," Wenger said.
"But we are up for it, we want to do it and we have the confidence to do it."
While making his rounds to promote the recently released debut album Rolling Papers, Wiz Khalifa stopped by The Angie Martinez show at NYC's Hot 97 for an interview. Although sources say that Wiz is tired of being asked about his relationship with Amber Rose, the veteran radio personality asked him anyway.
"Are you like boo'ed up officially?" Angie asked. "Yeah, yeah," Wiz responded. "It's pretty serious...I really really dig her. People think it's just like an image thing and we're just doing it to be crazy."
Earlier this week, Amber accompanied Wiz to 106 & Park where he was featured on the show. Wiz talked about the couple's status. "At the end of the day, it's just two great people meeting at the same time."

President Obama nominates his chief of staff for Treasury secretary.
President Obama nominated his chief of staff for Treasury secretary.
Treasury secretary nominee Jack Lew has spent most of his career in government, but during the financial crisis, he was embedded inside one of the country’s biggest banks as it nearly imploded.
From 2006 to 2008, he worked at Citigroup in two major roles, a notable line in his résumégiven that as Treasury secretary, he would be charged with implementing new rules regulating Wall Street.
But Lew did not have just any position at the bank.
In early 2008, he became a top executive in the Citigroup unit that housed many of the bank’s riskiest operations, including its hedge funds and private equity investments. Massive losses in that unit helped drive Citigroup into the arms of the federal government, which bailed out the bank with $45 billion in taxpayer ...
The group had been under pressure to compete with similar units at other big Wall Street firms and, some analysts say, took on too many risks as it played catch-up.
“The mismanagement of risk was comprehensive at that organization,” said Simon Johnson, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Details about Lew’s exact responsibilities at Citigroup, where he worked from 2006 to 2008, are scant. He declined to comment for this article.
Lew’s first job at the bank was chief operating officer of Citigroup’s wealth management unit, which flourished under his watch.
By the fall of 2007, the wealth management group handled $1.8 billion in client assets, up 34 percent from the year before, according to financial statements. More than 15,000 financial advisers and bankers worked under Lew.
The memo stated that Lew also would be a member of Citigroup’s management committee, a group of senior executives who met regularly to discuss different parts of the bank’s business.
“Senator, I don’t consider myself an expert in some of these aspects of the financial industry,” Lew said in response to a question from Sen. Bernard Sanders (I-Vt.) about causes of the financial crisis.
Sanders said in a statement Wednesday that although he applauds Lew’s public service, he worries about the number of economic advisers in the White House who have spent time on Wall Street. Michael Froman, deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs, also came from Citigroup’s hedge fund and pri...
The beginning of 2008 was a brutal time to be working at the bank and certainly at Citigroup’s alternative investments unit, which managed more than $54 billion.
The group was hemorrhaging money just as Lew joined. In the first three months alone, it lost $509 million, according to SEC filings. By contrast, just a year earlier during that quarter, the unit made $222 million.
Things continued to deteriorate the rest of the year. More than 50,000 employees, or one-seventh of Citigroup’s global workforce, were laid off in November. That year, the stock price dropped about 75 percent. Lew, meanwhile, was paid at least $1.1 million in 2008, according to financial disclosure statements.
By the end of December 2008, Lew had lined up a new job: away from Wall Street and back in Washington as a deputy secretary of state under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Meanwhile, Citigroup’s alternative investments unit had become such a stain on the bank’s record that it was relaunched three years ago with a new name. It’s now known as Citi Capital Advisors.
APPLE has launched a new iOS update to fix a FaceTime flaw that allowed people to eavesdrop on other people’s iPhones before they even picked up the call.
The company has released the iOS 12.1.14 software update that affects iPhones and iPads after a bug was publicised over a week ago.
The new update is only minor but still noticeable as it reboots the FaceTime feature that was disabled at the end of January.
The iOS flaw has been classified as a huge privacy error that allowed anyone to listen and even see what the receiver was doing on the other end, even if the FaceTime call was not answered.
To update your iPhone, navigate to Settings > General > Software Update.
The tech company has released their latest update after a teenager and mother from Arizona, USA, reported the bug in January by attempting to contact the company multiple times and claim to not have received a reply.
Apple initially addressed the issue on January 28, nearly ten days after the bug was claimed to first be reported, by disabling the feature.
“We have fixed the Group FaceTime security bug on Apple’s servers and we will issue a software update to re-enable the feature for users next week. We thank the Thompson family for reporting the bug. We sincerely apologize to our customers who were affected and all who were concerned about this security issue. We appre...
“Today’s software update fixes the security bug in Group FaceTime. We again apologise to our customers and we thank them for their patience.
“In addition to addressing the bug that was reported, our team conducted a thorough security audit of the FaceTime service and made additional updates to both the FaceTime app and server to improve security. This includes a previously unidentified vulnerability in the Live Photos feature of FaceTime.
The privacy breach has since led to investigations, lawsuits, and a congressional inquiry.
The mother of the teenager told USA press ‘there needs to be a better process for the average citizen to report things like this, and a timelier response’.
Simple answer: not tested properly. When companies have a deadline to meet, it is always testing that gets cut and squeezed and test managers have to start prioritising instead of testing everything. This is hardly a one-in-a-million sequence of events, it should be a standard element of the test script suites. But whe...

A man with a medical condition which meant he heard his eyeballs move in their sockets has been cured.
Stephen Mabbutt, 57, from Charlton, near Banbury, also heard his own heart beating and was finding it increasingly difficult to hear the world around him.
Ear expert Richard Irving diagnosed superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS) and carried out the surgery.
Mr Mabbutt told the BBC: "It's made a big difference to my life. I feel a different person all round."
He first experienced symptoms six years ago, in the form of a dull ache in the side of his head.
Successive GPs treated him with nasal sprays and antibiotics, but his hearing deteriorated.
He then experienced new symptoms - loud noises caused dizziness and his vision pulsated to every rhythm of his speech.
"When I raised my voice I could hear it reverberating in my head and the vibrations made my vision vibrate.
"Eventually I could hear my heart beating and my eyes moving in their sockets. It was really distracting."
He was eventually referred to Martin Burton, a surgeon from the Oxford Radcliffe Hospital who helped establish the Cochrane Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders Group.
Mr Burton conducted a CT scan and noticed perforations inside the semicircular canals inside Mr Mabbutt's ear. He then brought it to the attention of Richard Irving at the Birmingham Ear Clinic.
Mr Irving diagnosed SCDS, a rare condition discovered by American surgeon Lloyd B Minor in 1995.
He said: "There may be an annual incidence of one in 500,000 a year in the UK population.
"Symptoms include hearing loss and balance problems, particularly provoked by loud noises or pressure changes in the head.
"I've had a patient who fell over whenever they burst out laughing.
"You hear all interior sounds of the body particularly loud.
"The actual muscles that move the eyes are connected to the bones of the skull and there is an element of friction as these muscles move. Some patients, as their eyes move from side to side, hear that friction movement of the muscle as a noise in their ear.
