Episode 87: Beyond the index - why active investing matters

What is an index, what are the risks, and why does active management matter? In this episode of Bridge talks Business, Wealth Management Adviser Gareth Stythe talks with Ryan Bridge about how some of the widely followed indices have become more concentrated, with technology stocks making up a larger proportion than ever before.  They discuss the implications for investors, and how employing an active investment strategy can help to mitigate some of these risks.
