Luck, Skill, and Investment Performance

Abstract

This article presents a simple procedure for assessing the relative impact of luck and skill in determining investment performance. The procedure is then applied to the large-cap value managers. The results are consistent with earlier work that suggests that the great majority of the cross-sectional variation in fund performance is due to random noise.
