Talk:Indexing

Split article?
There seems to be two themes to this article, the first part describes indexing methodology and the second part describes the implementation in index funds. Should the implementation parts be moved into the index fund article? --Peculiar Investor 08:17, 28 February 2014 (CST)

Inconsistency in reference
The Index characteristics section starts with "According to the CFA Institute" yet the reference at the end of line doesn't go to the CFA Institute. This seems incorrect, particularly since the current link goes to the BH forum and the posts have had admin action taken on them. A quick Google search of CFA Institute didn't provide a suitable replacement reference. Need help to resolve. --Peculiar Investor 10:44, 21 January 2015 (CST)

Should Passive investing redirect here?
There currently is no passive investing article on the wiki. Should it be created as a redirect to this article? --Peculiar Investor 16:45, 22 January 2015 (CST)
 * I think there's a subtle difference on the use of "passive" versus "indexing" investing strategy. I don't see "passive investing" used in this context. For reference, take a look at the wording in SPIVA scorecards. It's not "active vs. passive" but "active vs. indexing". Check the website: Thought Leadership - SPIVA - S&P Dow Jones Indices and note the winning paper for 2013 is titled: A Case for Index Fund Portfolios. The term "index investing" is used consistently in the paper. --LadyGeek 19:09, 22 January 2015 (CST)
 * If they are not the same, then a passive management article is needed. Redirected passive investing to it, per Wikipedia's approach. --Peculiar Investor 20:18, 6 January 2016 (EST)
