Unveiling the Active Decisions in Index Investing: A Smarter Approach for Retirement Portfolios

Monday, December 2, 2024 | 2 pm ET | 1 CPE credit

Many investors trust their investment portfolios to index funds for broadly diversified market exposure at a seemingly low cost, based on a belief that this so-called “passive” investing approach helps them avoid subjective investment decisions. However, many active decisions lurk beneath the surface of index funds—and at potential cost to investors. 

Don’t miss this webinar led by Rob Harvey, Co-Head of Product Specialists & Vice President at Dimensional Fund Advisors, as he pulls back the curtain on indexing to expose these active decisions, and explores a time-tested alternative that may be a better way.
