The Power Of Indexation
An article titled “The Power Of Indexation” appeared in the March 2009 edition of Advisor’s Edge (you may recognize the author). This magazine is free to financial advisors to subscribe to, and if you don’t receive a copy you can click here to initiate a free subscription.
The article discusses the various ways that advisors can utilize indexation products, both through the MFDA channel or the IIROC channel. One of the main takeaways is that active and passive products/strategies can peacefully co-exist in investment portfolios. I get the sense that some advisors and investors think that active versus passive is an either-or proposition… It is not.
The article also discusses some of the more popular active trading strategies being used with passive products as well as an analysis of fundamental indexation performance through the tech bubble in the Canadian Market.
