Unless they change their fee structures and business model, I predict companies like Allan Gray, Coronation and similar investment houses won't be around in 10 years time

Why I will not touch a unit trust, ever. This large Allan Gray Global fund has apparently returned, in US$, -15.3% over 12mths and -1.8% p.a. over 5yrs (whilst S&P500 returned +6.7% pa ex div). And yet it has the gall to charge 0.8% in 'performance' fees.
