    Are too many people passive investing?

    As you know, we’re big fans of passive investing — it’s simple, low-cost, and it works. But with passive funds now making up nearly 60% of US stock funds, what has that done to the market? Could it be causing more volatility? Has it pushed company valuations too high? And what happens if everyone becomes a passive investor? Dimitri Vayanos is Professor of Finance at the London School of Economics and co-author of the award-winning paper Passive Investing and the Rise of Mega Firms. Read Dimitri’s paper here: https://personal.lse.ac.uk/vayanos/Papers/PIRMF_RFSf.pdf 📈Here’s my free investing course: https://makingmoney.email/investing-course-audio 🤝 Want 1:1 help from a financial adviser? https://makingmoney.email/financial-advisors-audio 🎉Sponsors Odoo - try their Sign app for free: https://www.odoo.com/r/MM Vanta - Get your company secure and compliant: https://vanta.com/makingmoney Tide - Get up to 4.22% AER (variable) on your business savings.

    Is the global economy about to change forever?

    What’s really going on with the global economy? Is the U.S. heading for a recession — and could the UK be among the worst hit? Anatole Kaletsky, Chief Economist at Gavekal and author of Capitalism 4.0, argues that both the U.S. and UK are stuck in outdated, pre-2008 economic thinking. He warns of a U.S. recession before year-end, a potential fiscal crisis in the UK, and a major shift in global economic power. ✅ Check if you’re doing the ‘right thing’ with a financial adviser https://makingmoney.email/financial-advisors-audio 👨‍👨‍👧 Sign up to free webinar on inheritance tax ⁠https://makingmoney.email/IHT-webinar-audio⁠ 🎉Sponsors Odoo - try their Sign app for free: https://www.odoo.com/r/MM Vanta - Get your company secure and compliant, with $1k off: https://vanta.com/makingmoney Tide - Get up to 4.22% AER (variable) on your business savings.
