The Dominance of Passive Investing in the Market
Passive investing, particularly through market cap-weighted indices like the S&P 500, has dramatically shifted market dynamics towards mechanical elements over traditional thought-based approaches. This shift has caused markets to react more to buyer and seller flows, increasing market narrowness where only a few large stocks drive significant gains while smaller stocks struggle. The divergence of market success factors mirrors the economic trend of middle-tier segments moving towards lower-income categories, indicating a widening economic divide.
