Professional fund managers, despite their education and experience, often fail to outperform the market due to high fees and other factors. By investing in an S&P 500 index fund like the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, with its low expense ratio, investors can expect better long-term returns than most actively managed mutual funds. Statistics show that 88% of active large-cap funds couldn't beat the S&P 500 over the last 15 years, highlighting the effectiveness of a simple, low-cost index fund strategy over actively managed funds.
