The Worry About Indexing Is Overblown

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: Investors are clearly shifting away from actively managed funds to those based on index strategies. Only time will tell, but this has the look of a durable, secular change in investment management. But much of the perceived threat to market stability of indexing is overblown. Overall, the stock market is still dominated by active management. And while the number of index products has clearly exploded, 96% of these are of insignificant size.
Regards,
Ted

    I didn't know anyone was worried. Oh wait, article published so now we are worried. Just like trickle down economics is good for us. Because they told us.

    Really, WHO is worried about indexing? I want names.
