Ep 13: EBI in the Netherlands

The Evidence-Based Investor

We all know by now about the huge shift taking place from active to passive management in the Anglo-Saxon world, especially the US. But what’s happening in continental Europe? Well, it’s actually in the Netherlands where the move away from active funds is really gathering pace.

Our guest on the latest TEBI Podcast, produced and sponsored by Regis Media, is Martijn Rozemuller, managing director of Think ETFs, based in Amsterdam. Martijn, a forms options trader, explains how he became disillusioned with active investing; why he believes in equal weighting trumps market-cap; why he’s so opposed to securities lending; and why he thinks too many Dutch are destroying value, rather than adding it in the Netherlands.
