摘要
The authors found that the rise in popularity of index trading-assets invested in index funds reached more than $1 trillion at the end of 2010-contributes to higher systematic equity market risk. More equity index trading corresponds to increased cross-sectional trading commonality, which precipitates higher return correlations among stocks. Consistent with the accelerating growth of passive trading; the authors found that equity betas have not only risen but also converged in recent years.
