Index prophets part company on ETFs
Monday 18 June 2007
On June 25, 2007 John Authers of the FT discussed a boxing match between two index heavyweitghts..well not quite a boxing match, but intellectually maybe!
"Jack Bogle and Burton Malkiel are the two arch-prophets of indexation. Nobody has done more to ram home public understanding of the rationale for passive investment, or to make it a reality by offering index funds to the masses" Read full article
I keep reading John Authers of the FT because I like the articles. This is yet another insight into the world of index linked mutual funds and Exchange traded funds. These two heavyweights are arguing about a fringe issue of indexing, but both believe the index funds are better for investors over time.
I do of course appreciate that even though these two heavyweight names have presence, most investors, and for that matter, many advisers, these two famous names might just as well be Mr Jones and Mr Smith. But many is a serious business and when its your money, it is very serious. As such, if your advisers don not really know anything about these heavyweights, you may need to question how serious they are about your money.
