Theoretical background: An increase in the interest in passive investing has been one of the most important trends on financial market over the last two decades. However, passive portfolio management is not limited to index funds and passive exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Despite the declared active approach to investing, in practice some active fund managers construct portfolios whose structure is quite similar to the index (usually a fund benchmark). Simultaneously, these funds charge relatively high fees, inadequate to the involvement in the investment process. In order to estimate the scale of this phenomenon, the activity and investment style of actively managed funds are examined. Purpose of the article: The main aim of the paper is to determine the degree of active approach to portfolio management by domestic Treasury bond funds investing in the Polish currency. Specific objectives include examining the relationship between the level of the fund’s active management and the size of the fund (assets under management) as well as the investment portfolio concentration. Research methods: In the quantitative study, the portfolio based measure of management activity, commonly used in the subject literature, was applied (adjusted to the bond fund), i.e. bond-level active share ratio. Moreover, to assess the portfolio concentration of the funds from the research sample, two measures were calculated: concentration ratio (CR5) and Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI). Main findings: The results of the study have proved that a majority of the investigated domestic Treasury bond funds manage their portfolios in an active manner. Additionally, the research has shown that the funds managing larger assets, with a low degree of portfolio concentration, are characterized by relatively lower values of the active share ratio, i.e. their portfolios are relatively passively managed.

Closet indexing is a practice used by asset management companies consisting in relatively passive portfolio management by funds declaring an active approach to management, while charging relatively high management fees, inadequate to demonstrated commitment. As the results of research carried out by national supervisory authorities, independent analytic firms as well as European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) show, closet indexing is experienced – with varying intensity – by many European countries and exposes investors on significant losses.

Ukryte indeksowanie jest praktyką stosowaną przez firmy asset management polegającą na dość pasywnym zarządzaniu portfelem przez fundusze deklarujące aktywne podejście do zarządzania, przy równoczesnym pobieraniu relatywnie wysokiej opłaty za zarządzanie, nieadekwatnej do wykazywanego zaangażowania. Jak pokazują wyniki badań prowadzonych przez krajowe organy nadzoru, niezależne firmy analityczne, a także Europejski Urząd Nadzoru Giełd i Papierów Wartościowych, ukryte indeksowanie występuje – z różną intensywnością – w wielu europejskich krajach i naraża inwestorów na poważne straty.

W artykule przedstawiono badanie poziomu kosztów aktywnego zarządzania oparte na pięciu miarach oceny tych kosztów (active expense ratio, active fee, new active fee, active to passive i MAF). W badaniu przyjęto dwa cele. Pierwszym z nich było sprawdzenie, która z miar dostarcza najwięcej informacji przydatnych w ocenie efektów decyzji zarządzających funduszami. Drugim było sprawdzenie, czy koszt aktywnego zarządzania generuje wartość dodaną dla inwestorów w postaci dodatkowej stopy zwrotu. Badania przeprowadzono na próbie 34 polskich funduszy akcyjnych. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników można wskazać dwie miary, które dostarczają najwięcej przydatnych informacji – active to passive i wskaźnik MAF. Ponadto aktywne zarządzanie funduszami nie generuje dodatkowej stopy zwrotu, a wręcz przeciwnie – powoduje obniżenie stóp zwrotu.

The article presents a study on the costs of active management based on five different measures: the active expense ratio, the active fee, the new active fee, the active to passive fee, and the maximum acceptable fee (MAF) ratio. There are two main objectives of the article. The first one is to indicate which measure is best in estimating the costs of active management. The second one is to check whether the costs incurred are related to the value added for investors. In the study, 34 Polish equity mutual funds are evaluated. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that two measures, the active to passive ratio and the MAF ratio, provide the most practical information. What’s more, active management does not generate any excess returns. On the contrary, a reduction can be observed.

Research of styles of active investment portfolio management of open pension funds in Poland showed that they are closet indexers (closet trackers). This is evidenced by very low values of active share (20,5–30,8%) and tracking error (0,48–0,56%). The consequence of such method of portfolio management may be net underperformance and relatively high management costs, inadequate to realized investment strategy.

Badanie stylów aktywnego zarządzania portfelami inwestycyjnymi przez otwarte fundusze emerytalne w Polsce wykazało, iż są one ukrytymi naśladowcami. Świadczą o tym bardzo niskie wartości wskaźnika active share (20,5–30,8%) oraz błędu odwzorowania (0,48–0,56%). Konsekwencją takiego sposobu zarządzania portfelem mogą być niższe od benchmarku stopy zwrotu (w ujęciu netto) oraz relatywnie wysokie koszty zarządzania, nieadekwatne do realizowanej strategii inwestycyjnej.
