Julian：我来自奥地利维也纳，想了解被动投资日益流行是否对资本市场功能产生影响，特别是是否存在负面影响。
Jack Howe：我理解你的问题，如果大量资金流入被动投资，可能会导致缺乏主动交易者来发现价格，这会影响市场效率。格罗斯曼-斯蒂格利茨悖论指出，完全有效的市场是不可能的，因为如果市场完全反映所有可用信息，交易新信息就没有利润动机。目前美国股市估值偏高，市场集中在顶部的科技公司，大量资金盲目流入标普500指数基金可能导致这些公司估值过高。根据一篇学术论文，资金流入被动基金不成比例地提高了经济中最大公司的股票价格，尤其是那些市场高估的大公司，并且资金流动为大型公司创造了个性化的波动，这阻止了投资者纠正资金流动对价格的影响。虽然这只是一个因素，但有证据表明，大量资金流入指数基金可能导致股票估值过高和更高的波动性。我计划在未来的节目中再次讨论这个问题。
