But the numbers you can’t argue with, I mean, we all know that the brutal math of investing before costs investors collectively will earn the market return after costs. I did it during the coronavirus collapse in 2020, and I did it again in 2022. They will earn that market return less, whatever they’re paying.

We all know that a 55% hit rate is the top decile across the industry, and the maths above demonstrates why. Both types of error are due to a combination of either mis-assessing the business quality or its valuation (or both). nor on valuation and IRR in order to avoid type 1 errors of inclusion. Good process, bad outcome.

And I did the math, and I think at that point in time, roughly speaking, assets in ETS were roughly just 10 percent, 12 percent of assets in mutual funds and I was pretty convinced that that number was to increase significantly. 2020 was a huge year.
