> most managers actually do match the S&P500, but before fees.

so what exactly are you paying them their fees for then?

Either way, for an active manager to be worth their fees, they _have_ to beat the index by more than their fees plus a bit more to make up for the risk that they don't. Otherwise, you'd be better off in a passive fund.
