5 There are many passive strategies tied to each index Market Cap weighted indexing (plain vanilla) Price-weighted indexing Equally-weighted indexing Fundamental indexing Leveraged indexing Inverse Indexing Results will vary 5
6 There are many ways to implement each strategy 1.Direct investment into the securities underlying the index 2.Investment into a basket of securities that best represent the index 3.Use of derivatives to replicate the index 4.Use all the strategies listed above Results will vary 6

9 The Bid-Ask Spread is Real Average Bid-Ask Spread was 20 bps Source: Bloomberg Businessweek 9
10 Conclusion: The index return is never the investor s return Total Cost of Ownership Typical ETF Underperformance 0.48% Average ETF Expense Ratio 0.50% 1.25% Average ETF Tracking Error 2.0% Transaction Costs and/or Dealer/Advisor Compensation Not includedin the ETF Expense Ratio but typically included in the Mutual Fund Expense Ratio Typical ETF Total Cost of Ownership 0.98% % 0.20% 0.50% Average Bid Ask Spread Transaction Costs and/or Dealer/Advisor Compensation 2.0% Typical ETF Underperformance 1.95% % 10
11 Active vs. Passive Debate: 7 Common Analytical Weaknesses Benchmark Misuse Treatment of Fees Confusion of the index with an investment that tracks the index Narrow Universe A Significant Number of US Equity Studies End Date Bias No Recognition for Risk and Tax Consequences Ex-Post Analysis 11
12 The Arithmetic of Passive Investing Active managers play an important role in ensuring market efficiency There is an upper limit to passive investing - there can only be so many free riders Capital cannot be allocated efficiently through passive investment alone. - Should index providers determine capital allocation? Passive Investing cannot exist without active management Active management cannot be rationed efficient level determined by markets All large defined benefit pension plan managers in Canada, including CPPIB, diversify to utilize both active and passive asset selection strategies. 12
13 Active vs. Passive Debate: Conclusions Investor s ultimate goal For individual investors, the relevant question is not whether to choose an active or passive fund but rather how to choose the investment that will maximize the risk adjusted returns of their portfolio subject to the investor s other unique quantitative and qualitative constraints Both passive and active funds will be utilized to answer this question. 13
14 Active vs. Passive Debate: Conclusions An informed investor is a better investor The Canadian Context Concerns regarding: Transparency in the total cost of ownership Historical performance of new funds Regulatory Fairness and a level playing field are key 14
