This is definitely a very thought provoking excellent article and there are a number of examples in the investment landscape,practices which were introduced with a proper logical purpose, but which seem to be causing more harm than good.Various indices exist all over the world and fund-mangers who bench-mark their performances with a certain index, fall over each other to beat these indices to prove their worth.That being the case, the constituents of these indices become very vital. There is sometimes a lack of transparency as to why certain constituents get in and what gets out. Obviously, those managers who get to know before hand will make a lot of money, not because of their skill as fund managers, but because of their proximity to certain officials who are involved in the construction of these indices.
