Active Manager Outperformance: Q1 2025
Published Q2 2025
About This Report
Institutional investors face the ongoing challenge of deciding between active and passive investment strategies, while seeking to source alpha through skilled manager selection. Nasdaq eVestment’s annual Active Manager Outperformance report -- a retrospective analysis of 10,000+ active equity and fixed income products' returns compared to benchmarks over the years -- can serve as a base for these exercises.
The report provides quantitative evidence on the asset classes and strategies in which active management is providing, or detracting, value.
For managers, quantitative analyses of the active management value proposition can elucidate product strategy, management, and marketing. For example, investors can benefit from innovative products targeting less efficient markets, or from being introduced to established strategies that consistently deliver alpha in more efficient environments. And understanding competitors’ performance and the source of their returns can prove invaluable in conceiving, launching, managing, and distributing products into the marketplace.
