Summary:

Twenty-four years after investment managers decided to implement the Standard and Poor's 500 "indexing" strategy, the first indexers beat the records of more than 99% of all actively-managed stock funds. The strategy has now been applied to other kinds of assets; in total, indexing now accounts for more than 25% of the investment methodology of all pension funds in the United States. This new book explains the phenomenon to the lay as well as the professional reader.
