"Trillion Index" content introduction
More than 50 years ago, a group of Wall Street rebels quietly assembled in the backwater of the financial industry with one belief: even the world's best investors could not beat the market for long, and index investing would dominate the future. Among the group are Eugene Fama, an economics wunderkind, John Bogue, an industry leader, John McQueen, a computer nerd, and Nate Most, a former World War II submariner. They invented the index fund and ETF and have had a profound and permanent impact on the global financial industry.
Today, index investing is a trillion-dollar force reshaping markets and finance. But even some advocates of index funds and ETFs are starting to worry about whether this growing influence will destabilize markets, disrupt the investment industry and lead to an increasing concentration of power in a few hands. That's what people don't want to happen.
In this book, Robin Wigglesworth, a reporter of the Financial Times, uncovers the mysterious history of index investment, vividly tells the birth, development and evolution of index funds and ETFs to dominate the investment world, and presents a colorful character in front of our eyes. This is a story that has never been told, and it will be interesting to see where the financial industry goes from here.
