About this episode

Mike Green discusses the hidden risks of passive investing and its impact on market stability.

Mike Green of Simplify Asset Management explains why the real risk in today’s markets isn’t something obvious like the Fed, inflation, or tariffs. Passive investment flows have quietly changed how markets function beneath the surface and have created a major systemic risk. We explore why markets can appear stable while becoming increasingly fragile, why regulators are unable to act, and what this means for investors thinking about risk, liquidity, and capital preservation.
