Core Perspective: Unpacking passive investing

This is the first of a series of presentations which aims to 'Ask the right questions' about investing and the role passive plays in achieving better outcomes for investors and society. To date the focus has been on finding the optimal split between passive and active. However, these 'quantitative' approaches rarely look at the causes behind the shift to passive strategies and their broader implications. In this presentation we unpack the drivers behind the shift from traditional active - to passive and the resulting long term implications for the industry and society - for example, on price discovery and liquidity.
