FYI: his afternoon, I am speaking at the Inside Smart Beta Conference, playing the role of curious skeptic in the room. ETF.com’s CEO Dave Nadig is going to grill me on why we have not moved $850 million of client assets into Smart Beta holdings.
A few caveats are in order: First, I find the term “Passive Indexing” to be less than optimal phrasing; Preferred language: “Low cost indexing.” Same with and “Smart Beta” — “Fundamental Indexing” is a much preferred phrase. I also will admit that passive is less passive than many people believe, and that reasonable people can look at the data and amicably disagree. This is not a holy war.
Regards,
Ted
