With the large percentage of active managers that underperform their benchmarks and the huge popularity of ETFs over the past several years, some investors have been left wondering whether passive management is the future and active management may eventually become extinct. In this presentation, David will discuss rationale for passive management, rationale for active management, and then considerations for combining the two approaches. He will also discuss advanced beta, portfolio implementation, and his outlook on current market conditions.
