What type of fund manager do you like? --Long-tenure or short-tenure fund manager?
First, let's specify the definition of "long-tenure" and "short-tenure". We use a range of zero to three years to define "short tenure", and six years and greater to define the "long tenure".
On a pretax basis, the average long-tenure manager underperforms the average short-tenure manager by 0.03 percentage point a year.
For posttax returns, long-tenure managers outperform short-tenure managers by 0.14 percentage point a year, on average.
Why does this reversal happen? The answer is that short-tenure managers are trading much more often than long-tenure managers. For investors, more trading means a much larger tax bill at the end of the day.

Exchange-traded funds focused on electric vehicles could catch some momentum from the massive infrastructure bill Congress passed on last Friday, which contains billions in new spending for the industry.
The roughly $1 trillion package allocates $7.5 billion to build out a network of EV chargers and another $7.5 billion for low or zero-emission buses and ferries.
Electric-vehicle ETFs have done well this year, taking in twice the amount of investor flows than they did in 2020. But interest seems to be waning suddenly. A basket of electric car and battery funds have seen net outflows of $25.8 million in November.
- according to Bloomberg Intelligence.
That recent trend could reverse due to the infrastructure package, as it focuses on developing the EV ecosystem, according to Todd Rosenbluth, head of ETF and mutual fund research at CFRA. He's eyeing both the $Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF (DRIV.US)$and $Ishares Self-Driving Ev And Tech Etf (IDRV.US)$.
“The funds own not just automakers like $Ford Motor (F.US)$, $Toyota Motor (TM.US)$ and $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ but also technology and communications services companies that are part of the supply chain as well materials companies making lithium.”
