活动主题:《How Indexed Investment Erodes Stock Market Efficiency

Because actively managed portfolios do not outperform market indexes in informationally efficient stock markets, savings increasingly flow to lower-cost index funds, which simply buy and hold the stocks in a major index, such as the S&P 500. If this diverts capital away from moving prices towards fundamentals, increased indexing may render stock markets decreasingly efficient. Using firms added to or dropped from the S&P 500, we find that exogenous idiosyncratic information events move firms' stocks significantly less when those firms are in the index than when they are not. Idiosyncratic information events are used because, as Samuelson noted, stock market efficiency is more evident in individual stocks' idiosyncratic price changes than in market-wide price movements. Alternative explanations are tested and rejected. Increased indexing may thus be undermining the efficient markets hypothesis that supports its viability, and much else in the real economy.
