@Watzeklicker That is true. The index concept is so (over-?)engineered that it no longer has much to do with the original idea of passive investing. I wouldn't buy it yet either. Let's see if it works in practice first.
@userd1ae984c293941e4 It practically takes the ACWI and intervenes according to certain criteria. Limiting the volume of individual stocks alone is already an active intervention.
@userd1ae984c293941e4 Well, you can do that too. You practically trade actively and create your own index. Then you call it passive, because you only follow this index. Dr. Andreas Beck recently gave a great explanation somewhere as to why this ETF is fundamentally not passive. But I don't care whether you call this construct active or passive. You seem to be somehow bothered by it. What counts in the end is success.
@Watzeklicker Nonsense, passive investing simply means ignoring the current market and investing automatically according to fixed rules. That's exactly what his ETF does.
@Watzeklicker Does Kommer himself select individual stocks that he forecasts to be profitable at the current time? No ! Does he engage in market timing by selling shares as soon as they fall? No ! Will he still be following the rules of his index in 30 years' time, which were established once and firmly 1 year ago? Yes !! ... Any more questions about whether he invests actively or passively?
