Tamas Calderwood - The Soft Dictatorship of the Index
What is an index? What started out as a way of measuring the size of a market became an investment methodology. Is passive investing now so big that ETFs are starting to influence the market? Tamas Calderwood joined me to discuss:
\xb7 Financial advice and the new generation of emerging advisers
\xb7 Who calculates the indexes we track?
\xb7 Tesla and the Observer Effect
\xb7 The soft dictatorship of the index
\xb7 The role of price discovery in more passive markets
