About this episode

Michael Green discusses the impact of passive investing on market dynamics and trading behavior.

What if passive investing is actually one of the biggest active forces shaping markets today? In this episode, I sit down with Michael Green, Founder and CIO at Tier1 Alpha Asset Management. Michael challenges the conventional view that stock prices primarily reflect fundamentals, arguing that the transaction itself moves prices and that the rise of passive investing has fundamentally changed who trades, why they trade, and how markets respond to capital flows.
