MarketWatch columnist Chuck Jaffe believes mutual funds should be giving investors more for their money.

"But the math tells us that half of all funds are below-average performers, and plenty of funds that top their average peer come up with other ways of being disappointments, from inconsistent returns to causing tax headaches and more."
