Alpha indexing and manager bias drive tension, Bob Elliott argues
Alpha indexing faces manager resistance

Bob Elliott, co-founder / CIO at Unlimited, challenges investment managers' belief in their ability to outperform their peers through alpha indexing.

Elliott notes that when he presents empirical evidence supporting the benefits of alpha indexing, managers often counter with anecdotes and personal attacks. He believes this negative response only reinforces the uncomfortable truth he is trying to expose.

Elliott has recently commented on broader market trends, noting that a Wall Street sentiment gauge reached its most bullish level in 30 years. He also reported that wage growth has slowed, with household spending increasingly reliant on dissaving. These observations add further context to his ongoing skepticism toward active management strategies.
