FYI: Indexing’s meteoric rise introduced investors to the value of prioritizing low costs, transparency, and consistency in their portfolios.
With that growth comes increased scrutiny. Recent criticisms—indexing is too big, indexing creates higher market volatility, indexing distorts capital markets, to name a few—have made their way into headlines. But our research suggests that many of these are unfounded.
An in-depth look at the data not only dismisses some of these claims outright, but it also helps support the case for investing across the indexing universe.
