Active Index Investing For over three decades, both institutional and individual investors have increasingly accepted indexing, index benchmarks and the investment products that track them.  Through this process, indexing has become a driving force in the transformation of investment strategy from a subjective art to a more appropriate blend of art and science. Yet many investors' understanding of the sophistication of this burgeoning field has lagged behind the growing use of index products. Active Index Investing aims to close that gap, and provides a comprehensive review of the theories, products and strategies that have enabled investors to benefit from the 'indexing revolution' that contiues to gain momentum around the world.  And this website aims to supplement the book's 31 chapters with updated data, additional content and sidebars, and an opportunity for your feedback.  I hope you find both the book, which was recently published in Japanese, and it's E-ppendix informative and useful.
