What if the world's largest investment firms aren't giving you the full picture? Join us for an exclusive conversation with Mike Green, Chief Strategist and Portfolio Manager at Simplify Asset Management, as we traverse the fascinating landscape of ETF innovation and competition. Mike shares his extensive industry knowledge and Simplify's unique approach to crafting standout strategies amidst the dominance of passive giants like Vanguard and BlackRock. Learn how recent regulatory changes, such as the 2019 ETF rule and the derivative rule, have paved the way for sophisticated investment products, and why the allure of active management is on the rise.
Discover the profound effects of passive investing on the economy as we explore how continuous inflows into index funds might inflate market valuations and create potential risks, especially as baby boomers retire. Mike delves into whether small caps and non-market cap-weighted indices could offer a more accurate economic snapshot. Plus, we discuss the current state of the IPO market and the spectacular rise and fall of SPACs, providing you with invaluable insights into the market's future trajectory.
In our conversation, we also tackle the complexities of debt, deficits, and modern fiat systems, emphasizing the importance of strategic borrowing and spending. Mike offers a deep dive into global GDP dynamics, with a particular focus on China and trade tensions. We also explore the roles of gold and Bitcoin as alternative assets, the mechanics of dispersion trading, and the current market environment. Finally, celebrate our podcast's growth with us, and stay tuned for upcoming sessions with more industry leaders. Thank you for your continued support and for being part of our vibrant audience!
