Book • 2021
This book tells the story of the index fund revolution, which began about 50 years ago with a group of iconoclastic individuals who defied conventional wisdom.
It details how passive investing, initially met with resistance, has grown to manage over $20 trillion, reshaping markets, finance, and capitalism.
The book highlights key figures such as Gene Fama, Jack Bogle, John McQuown, and Nate Most, and discusses significant events like Warren Buffett's bet against hedge funds and the rise of ETFs.
Wigglesworth brings to life the characters and events that transformed investing and saved billions in fees for individual investors.
