Where are all the Billionaires? & Why should We Care?: Victor Haghani at TEDxSPS
Victor Haghani uses the puzzle of the missing billionaires to help us explore how and why most investors fail to capture the returns offered by the market. He puts forward a simple but powerful solution for those who aren't satisfied with the status quo: it's called "Active Index Investing."
