IS THE MANAGER FEE WORTH IT? ACTIVE VS PASSIVE PERFORMANCE IN INDONESIAN EQUITY FUNDS
This study examines whether 119 JCI-benchmarked Indonesian equity mutual funds outperform passive JCI exposure during 2018–2025 using Sharpe, Treynor, Jensen’s alpha, tracking error, and CAPM with HAC errors. Results show broad net-of-fee underperformance: Sharpe ratios and alphas are mostly negative, betas cluster near one, and many funds exhibit closet indexing. COVID-period resilience is temporary and disappears in the recovery. Fund size, age, and costs explain only limited differences. Even higher-fee funds fail to generate positive abnormal returns, confirming that passive JCI exposure dominates active management across a full market cycle for Indonesian equity investors.
