One trend we covered was the way passively managed mutual funds and pension funds have been gaining market share relative to actively managed funds. Another trend we discussed was the decrease in individuals’ costs of trading stocks, options, and ETFs. Assume both of these trends and the underlying forces driving them continue over the next 4 or 5 years.
