The Index Revolution: Why Investors Should Join It Now

Praise for The INDEX REVOLUTION

"Index funds combine intelligent academic theory with practical common sense and so does Charley Ellis in this new book. With warmth and wit, Charley paints the picture of an investment industry that was ripe for the index revolution. He presents the enduring case for indexing through stories, insights, and simple math. It′s an enjoyable read for long–time indexers and novices alike."
Bill McNabb, Vanguard Chairman and CEO

"This book is a must–read for any investor looking to learn more about indexing or for those who are skeptics of index investing. After reading his compelling case on the benefits of index investing, readers will be asking why they are not index investors already."
Amy Schioldager, Global Head of Index Equities, BlackRock, Inc.

"Indexing is not being passive; it is an active decision to not be foolish and pay for something that isn′t there."
Suzanne Duncan, State Street Corporation Senior Vice President, Global Head of Research

"To the debate over indexing, Charles Ellis brings not only powerful arguments, but also his own long history. While others have belatedly and grudgingly come to accept the wisdom of indexing, Charley has spent decades at the forefront of The Index Revolution, arguing that trying to win the investment game is the surest way to lose. Want to ensure a prosperous financial future for your family? It′s time to join Charley and the revolution he helped spark."
Jonathan Clements, author, How to Think About Money

"Every investor wants to believe they can be above average. Charley Ellis has finally convinced me there is a foolproof strategy to reach that goal. It is indexing and his overwhelming proof is in The Index Revolution."
Consuelo Mack, Anchor and Executive Producer, Consuelo Mack WealthTrack

"Indexing makes sense because indexing works. It is the only strategy that effectively guarantees that investors will earn their fair share of whatever returns are provided by the stock and bond markets."
John C. Bogle, Vanguard Founder and retired CEO
