The Dark Side of Index Funds: What No One Tells You


Listen Later

Passive index fund investing is one of the most popular ways to invest in the stock market, but it comes with a dark side that most people don't understand.

In this episode, Jaspreet discusses the overlooked risks and hidden consequences of passive index fund investing. He breaks down how index funds inflate the value of smaller, lesser-known companies, why some CEOs are gaming the system to boost stock prices, and how index funds might be creating bubbles. 

Key Takeaways:

- The mechanics of index funds, ETFs, and mutual funds, and how they impact the market.
- How the structure of these funds might be inflating certain stocks unfairly.
- Why you need to carefully analyze funds to avoid falling into common traps.

Find out what no one is telling you about the downsides of index funds and how to protect your wealth!
