European Active/Passive Barometer Report: Year-End 2024

Passive equity and fixed-income funds still outperform the market compared to their active peers in the long term.



It can be difficult for investors to choose between actively managed funds or their passive counterparts.

The latest European Active/Passive Barometer report analyzes nearly 29,500 unique active and passive European-domiciled funds across categories, including success rates, annualized excess returns, and more.
