External Managers Hold the Edge
From The Wall Street Journal
As fund companies try to fill in the style-box more and more often they are turning to outside shops to subadvise their funds. It turns out that they may be on to something good.

Altogether about 6.1% of mutual-fund assets are managed externally, up from 4.9% in 1995. Still, these funds don't yet have their fair share of assets. They represent 9% (or 590) of all funds. The WSJ also reports that Fidelity Magellan has trimmed its tech holdings to 20.9% of its portfolio.
