Is your managed account doing better than your retirement accounts?
I'm often tempted to take a more hands on approach, but haven't yet.

I'm a unique case. The company I worked for matched 401k contributions with stock. They also offered a stock buying program and I participated.
Needless to say I owned a bunch of company stock. There have been two buyouts since 2015 that put the price of the stock through the roof (and were sold).
I guess you could say the 401k is passive and the stock buying part that went to TD Ameritrade is passive. I didn't actively trade the stock.
Since then my active trading has done much better than my 401k and better than most benchmarks. No fund fees either.
Good investing!
