There are/ I own plently of funds that have less turnover than some index funds. In past years, the SPX has turned over dozens and dozens of names a year, some indexes are worse.

Dozens and dozens would be 5% per year (24/500), that's very low. How many actively managed funds have less than 5% turnover a year? I don't know how to get a ranking of mutual funds by turnover percentage, but I've got to think that it's pretty rare for an actively managed fund to be less than 5%.

To be fair, dozens and dozens is at least 48 and usually higher.
