LOL for sure. Realistically, if you were one guy and you handed a billion dollar portfolio for yourself, just throw it into an index and you'd easily beat conducting research and trading. Emphasis - one guy. One person with a billion dollar portfolio (mighty illiquid there) ain't gonna beat out thousands of analysts and PMs out there swinging in the jungle with their economies of scale alone. Structural alpha is a thing - most alpha generated by institutions is probs more of structural alpha rather than skill alpha. Just throw it into the index and you have it managed (altho this probs doesn't answer the question)
