Professionally-managed portfolios are better diversified than portfolios of self-directed retail investors.
“It could be shown that professionally-managed portfolios are better diversified (Bluethgen et al. 2008;Gerhardt and Hackethal 2009) and exhibit weaker disposition effects (Shapira and Venezia 2001) than portfolios of self-directed retail investors.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
