Discussions regarding the generation of abnormal profits through active trading have long held a prominent position in the finance literature. Beginning with Jensen (1968), a large literature has explored the ability of mutual fund managers to systematically picks stocks and time their investments so as to generate abnormal performance and justify the fees and expenses of active money management.
