It seems really difficult to find such a money manager.

I agree with everything you have posted. You are far better off to manage your own portfolio, alhough, it means a lot of work ie studying finance and investing and keeping on top of your investments and investment strategy. I think for most investors who don't have the time and energy "indexing" is far better than mutual funds. Although in today's climate I wouldn't invest at all in the stock market. I have sold all my holdings and everything is in cash ie a short term money market fund. Although, I am hardlly making any money at least I am not losing money and can wait until real bargains start to appear in the marketplace. I am close to retirement but retiring in a Bear market would be a stupid thing to do so I am waiting a couple of years until the next Bull to retire. All the Best Mark Hi Dividend Guy:

The market is too unpredictable and the vast majority of financial planners don't understand the basics of finance. The US and the World is in the beginning of a major recession which I believe will last many years since we have had such a long run of stock market price appreciation and a capital bubble created by easy credit and the stupidity of Banks and Investment firms along with the stupidity of the vast majority of people who got sucked into buying beyond their financial means. If you are young and have lots of cash this is the best moment in history or probably in your lifetime to get rich. All you have to do is have patience and watch the market decline in the next year or so. You will have fantastic opportunities to buy great companies at bargain prices. One of the best books written on investing is "The Four Pillars of Investing" buy William Bernstein. A must read for all intelligent investors.
