Index funds beat active managers, says viral math argument
Original: The math doesn't lie. Why index funds mathematically outperform active managers every single year. # finance # wealth #

It has drawn attention from retail investors weighing passive versus active strategies for long-term wealth building.
Why now: Ongoing debate about passive versus active investing is resurfacing among retail investors focused on fees and compounding.
