Is passive investing distorting the market?
A genuine cluster in our KB (1,306 claims on market structure): the flows-driven view holds that passive bid-and-forget flows amplify concentration and momentum — one reason mega-cap dominance persists beyond fundamentals. Conviction on the structural-distortion thesis runs 66/100; the practical takeaway the experts draw is that flows, not fundamentals, set short-run prices.
