{"product_id":"9780857195494","title":"The End of Indexing: Six structural mega-trends that threaten passive investing","description":"Index-tracking is the flavour of the day - it accounts for around one-third of the total US mutual fund market, and is still growing rapidly. Indexing appears to be unstoppable.\u003cp\u003eBut, in The End of Indexing, investment veteran Niels Jensen presents a different vision. In a forthright and compelling examination of the investment landscape, Jensen argues that the economic environment we are entering will be unsuited to index-tracking strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJensen identifies six structural mega-trends that are set to disrupt investors around the globe:\u003cbr\u003e1. End of the debt super-cycle\u003cbr\u003e2. Retirement of the baby boomers\u003cbr\u003e3. Declining spending power of the middle classes\u003cbr\u003e4. Rise of the East\u003cbr\u003e5. Death of fossil fuels\u003cbr\u003e6. Mean reversion of wealth-to-GDP\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn conjunction, these six themes have the potential to create conditions resembling a perfect storm that will result in low economic growth for decades to come. Investment techniques and methodologies - including passive investing strategies - that have worked so well in the bull market of the last 35 years will no longer deliver acceptable results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a new investment approach is called for, The End of Indexing provides investors with a guide to the challenging environment ahead and a warning about the future decline of index-tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harriman House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008549830896,"sku":"9780857195494","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780857195494_p0.jpg?v=1763833656","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780857195494","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
