The shift from active to passive investing has been accelerating during the past few years, reaching an extreme recently. Vanguard’s flows were positive and the rest of the fund
industry’s were negative in the past two years. In 2016, Vanguard attracted $277 billion, setting a record for an annual flow to a single fund family, while the other companies
combined saw $114 billion fly out the door.
