Active vs passive outlook – passive to continue to gain share
Given the ongoing shift to passive investing from active, we polled the audience to see where they think the share split between the two styles eventually settles. Currently the share split is roughly 70% active and 30% passive which was the least popular answer (10%) when asked “do you see improving cyclical demand for active management, despite structural headwinds, and if so where do you think active/passive share settles?” Most investors do see improving cyclical demand for active management and think passive will eventually control 40% of the market (50%) while 40% of respondents do not see improving trends for active and that passive will eventually capture 50% of the market.
