The future of active and passive management

The past decade has seen massive outflows from actively managed funds to passive vehicles. A high-level dialogue hosted by Funds Europe, in association with RBC Investor & Treasury Services, asked experts for their take on the way ahead.

Our panellists explored how best to combine the two approaches; where one works better than the other; what kind of role smart beta has to play; and which passive vehicles are likely to succeed.
