City funds: Under pressure
(Picture: PA)The ten worst performing big City funds have lost investors £10 billion since Christmas, the latest blow to the reputation of the active investment sector.
While stock markets have been rocky, the FTSE 100 is down only about 4% this year. The worst funds are down more than 40% in some cases, again calling into question the value of City stock pickers, against computers that just track stock markets.
