"Active investors have two options: 1) Get out of public markets and into private, or 2) Front run The #Machine (indexers & the Street). The rise of passive investing has changed the environment dramatically," explains Howe, as he fleshes out how the game has changed and how the massive influx of passive may be lead ingto monopolistic & anticompetitive practices. “Keith talks about the #Machine in a very realistic way – it doesn’t matter if it makes sense or not, you just can’t afford to get run over by it.”
