For me, I only invest in index funds. I could be wrong but I don’t assume any fund manager knows more than any of the others, so I just stick with a handful of index funds.

That's why you do both and then you will never be "wrong" again 😂. I'm not advocating one way or another, I just don't think it's black & white

If you're thinking long term, the only aspects that you can choose are expense and turnover ratios. Hence, always choose based on those and choose a diversified market index.
Short to mid-term - performance history (not a guarantee but an indicator nonetheless) can be factored in when selecting.
Bear in mind, over a long term (2 decades or so) actively managed funds hardly beat the index funds with rock-bottom expense and turnover ratios.
Thanks EY for the helpful guidance!
