Over the past 25 years, only 38.6% of active funds have outperformed the broader S&P 500 on an annual basis.

Does that include bond funds and balanced bond/stock funds? If so, they aren't aiming to beat the S&P 500. They give up return to cut down on risk.

Usually they are talking about funds that will generally be tracked against the S&P as a benchmark. Bond funds are benchmarked differently.
