This report analyses the performance of actively managed funds in the South African Bond market over the last 5 years.
The aim is to measure the degree of out-performance of the active funds and to estimate how much of this performance could have been achieved using passive strategies.
We find that the average bond fund out-performed the ALBI by about 80bps per annum (before fees) over the last five years (after accounting for market exposure, or "beta").
