Indexing Moves Markets and Creates Inefficiencies
We think the example of Longfin Corp shows definitively that index investing moves markets and can create inefficiencies. In a prior paper, we introduced the concept of expectations “errors” as it relates to testing market efficiency, and in this paper, we strive to identify the foundational element that may help explain not only that inefficiencies exist because of index investing, but also the drivers behind such inefficiencies, illustrated as function of shares purchased by index trackers to achieve the respective index weight as a percentage of the number of shares in the company’s float. It may not be whether indexing moves markets or causes inefficiencies, but rather, how frequently and by how much. Latest News and Media The High Yield Dividend Newsletter, Best Ideas
