Active management loses in risk study

"The study by Morningstar Inc. found that, [sic] over the past three years, while about half of actively managed funds outperformed their respective Morningstar indexes [sic] ... only 37% did so on a risk, size, and style adjusted basis. The numbers are similar for five and ten year returns."
