80% of the stock market is now on autopilot

edited June 2019 in The OT Bullpen
This trend has become dominant enough it is worth keeping in mind. I continue to suspect some direct investing by humans is worthwhile! (My portfolio remains highly skewed towards active.)
Passive investments such as index funds and exchange-traded funds control about 60% of the equity assets, while quantitative funds, those which rely on trend-following models instead of fundamental research from humans, now account for 20% of the market share, according to estimates from J.P. Morgan.

Passive funds have attracted $39 billion of inflows so far this year, whereas active funds lost a whopping $90 billion in 2019, the bank said.>
