St James’s Place CIO Onuekwusi warns investors against chasing top-performing fund managers
  • St James’s Place flagged the “winner’s curse” risk in fund manager selection, warning against chasing recent outperformance.
  • The group cited a study of 400+ institutional manager switches where fired managers beat newly hired managers over the next three years.
  • SJP pointed to S&P Dow Jones data showing top-quartile US large-cap funds had about a 6% chance of staying top-quartile.
  • Manager due diligence will emphasize repeatable edge, process resilience, and on-site reviews over short-term performance tables.
  • The firm said it prefers blending managers with complementary styles to reduce reliance on any single manager’s cycle-driven results.
