	Analysis
	What are the issues surrounding existing relative performance comparison calculations?
	Current widely used approaches in the market to select between those management styles suggest that active managers cannot outperform over long periods of time. As a result, investors often adopt a dogmatic view on the topic. However, those approaches are based on methodological simplifications and errors that fail to arrive at a fair performance comparison between active and passive funds.
	What are the solutions to correct and improve the process?
	A new methodology should be used to fix those errors and eliminate the biases in order to arrive at a fair comparison between active and passive funds. This methodology is based on a proprietary database and new indicators that include all investment opportunities available to investors.
	What is the contribution of this innovative approach and why the need to use it to build optimal portfolios?
	Based on this innovative methodology and looking at non institutional share classes only, a broad view of performances across asset classes and categories over the past 10 years shows that active/passive funds results are decidedly more mixed than common belief.
