Episode Summary
Index investing has been a very successful, low-costing investing strategy that has grown considerably over the last few decades. But there have been a number of concerns regarding the growth of indexing and the influence of index fund managers. These issues revolve around governance, fears of anti-competitive behavior due to cross-ownership, fiduciary duty implications, and the distortion of market signals. We sat down with Robin Wigglesworth, author of “Trillions”: the definitive book on the past, present and future of passive investing, and editor at FT’s Alphaville, to discuss all these issues.
