O que significa “Most people handle that <with denial>.”
?

I found this sentence in the following paragraph:
Index funds cause “absolute agony” for investment professionals because vast majority lag funds over time; “most people handle that with denial”
----------
I’m wondering what “WITH DENIAL” means in this case.
Do most people handle the problem without regarding it as a problem? Or Do people handle it, realizing that it is a problem but wishing it were not a problem?

Most people cope with this problem by pretending it doesn't exist.
One of the meanings of "denial" is "not admitting even to oneself that there is a problem".
