What happens on a different time scale and with different comparator indices?
Interestingly, Finsbury 'lost out' (total return around 50%) to both a passive all world tracker (VWRL 70% total return) and an S&P 500 tracker (VUSA 100% total return) over the last 5 years.

So if you *could* find something better, why put your money in (by implication) something worse?
