A Rationale For Active Management

Active managers are throwing in the towel. They haven't demonstrated an ability to beat the market and are now re-evaluating their value and their selling proposition to investors.

I need to think about this some more. There may be a viable rationale to active management beyond trying to beat the market.

Do I want a plane flown only on auto pilot or do I want a plane piloted by a person who may be able to react in an emergency. The analogy may not work because there may be times when a plane flown by a person takes emergency action for no reason whatsoever.
