The 87% that said "YES" to firing the manager for underperforming their bench by 100% over 5 years, nice work, you just fired Warren #Buffett on Feb 28, 2000 (see Fig 1)
Look now at Fig. 2: only two years after said Index Advocate would have fired Buffett, BRK was ahead of the index by 72%
The benefits of sitting out the crazy periods can be seen in Fig 3 below. That is Buffett from 1995 – today. Unfortunately Mr. Buffett will not live forever.
Fortunately, Kailash has every intention of providing investors with access to process driven methods that will vary more widely from the index than Buffett does, while seeking larger excess returns over a full cycle.
As long as a manager has a historically informed, common sense, disciplined and low-fee approach to investing, beating an index is INEVITABLE

Stock Based Comp will not matter until it is ALL that matters....When employees REALIZE that they are both a source of labor and financing!

2/ With gas in Asia trading in the $20s, US Henry Hub at $5 and $100s of billions in LNG export facilities coming online in the US, where is that gas coming from?
3/ Remember, the US lifted the post 1970s ban on exporting energy in the heady year of 2015 when US debt markets were all-too-happy to lend to money losing shale, and Energy Stocks had a weight in the S&P 500 that was 3x higher than today.
