The impact of indexing on equities since the turn of the century has been such as to transform an industry. The stage may now be set for similar developments in professional fixed income management. Fixed income markets are on an aggregate trajectory that approximates that of the equity markets from a decade or two earlier, but with a growth rate that has in fact been higher. In a recently released paper, S&P Dow Jones Indices explores the growth of indexing in fixed income, outlining why passive strategies came later for this asset class and examining whether its growth might continue to echo, or even catch up to, that of equity markets. If you are interested in learning more about indexing’s potential in bonds, I highly recommend joining this webinar and conversation with my colleague Anu Radha Ganti, CFA and other industry leaders from Sage Advisory and BlackRock on Tuesday, July 9.

In a clearly paradoxical trend, money-market funds globally took in $1.1trn (£878bn) in 2023 but reported $46bn (£36.7bn) of outflows in the first quarter of this year, indicating that a more sanguine attitude toward risk has emerged.
