True passive investing may not exist, as all investing ultimately involves active decisions. In this episode of Inside Active, host David Cohne, mutual fund and active management analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, along with co-host James Seyffart, senior ETF analyst at BI, spoke with Michael Green, portfolio manager and chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, about the implications of passive investing’s dominance and the challenges facing active managers. They discuss how large index-tracking product flows may be reducing market elasticity, distorting price discovery and contributing to systemic risks. The conversation also explores whether active strategies can adapt and find opportunities in an increasingly index-driven market. The podcast was recorded on Feb. 10.

Bloomberg’s Market Pulse gauge hit an official manic condition at the end of January, where defensive sectors tend to outperform cyclicals and small caps often lag large caps. In this episode of the Inside Active podcast, host David Cohne, mutual fund and active management analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, and co-host Michael Casper, BI’s senior US equity strategist, speak with Christopher Tessin, a founder and managing partner of Acuitas Investments and lead portfolio manager for the Acuitas US Microcap Fund (AFMCX), about the firm’s multimanager approach to micro-cap investing. They discuss why the most critical factor in evaluating managers is idea-generation skill, not historical returns alone and why the greatest inefficiencies and alpha opportunities exist at the smallest end of the market-cap spectrum. The conversation also explores why quality matters more in micro caps and why Tessin is bullish on small and micro caps after a long period of underperformance. The podcast was recorded on Feb. 5.
