Your fund is run by either an in-house manager or outside adviser. Should you care?

Only if you think it's important that funds are hiring out management duties to subadvisers at a faster pace. And only if you want greater insight into who's looking after your money.

In the past five years, stock funds run by outsiders have increased to one in eight from one in 10. In that time, subadvised stock funds' 15.2% average annual return edged out in-house run funds' 14.48%, according to Financial Research Corp. On a $10,000 investment, that's a difference of $284, or 2.8%, in the ending balance.

It's not much. But every edge helps.

Filling The Gaps

Fund groups hire outside managers for many reasons. But high on the list is filling gaps in fund lineups quickly and economically. Funds also change subadvisers for several reasons. The big ones are changes in performance and investment style.
