Niels Clemen Jensen has over 30 years of investment banking and investment management experience. He began his career in Copenhagen in 1984 before moving to Sherson Lehman in London in 1986.

In 1999 he re-joined ... Read more on Niels Jensen
An eye-catching title to grab your attention, and the book certainly does not disappoint. Niels Jensen avoids trotting out the old pros and cons of passive investing but instead pursues several big picture, important, interesting themes, focusing on structural mega-trends he says are set to disrupt investors around the world. Nick McBreen, FT Advisor
How apt that I just finished “The End of indexing” by Niels Jensen in the midst one of those chilling tropical downpours in Asia. It is indeed a highly readable rainy-day read that pours cold water on the future of passive investing. Niels takes the reader on a comprehensive tour of some depressing megatrends affecting the global economy and asset markets. You don’t even need to buy into every aspect of these to sympathise with his intelligent interpretations. Niels’ vast market experience shines through in his clear translation of trends into investment strategies. His conclusion — that passive investment strategies expose investors to the wrong type of risk at the wrong side of the megatrends, is accompanied by some convincing suggestions regarding where to maintain risk exposures. Gabriel Sterne, Head of Global Macroeconomics, Oxford Economics
So often, it seems that analysts and investors are aware of important long-term issues but choose to discount them, and focus instead on short-term ones, that seem more concrete – retaining only a vague sense of concern that they might be missing something. Keynes taught us the dangers of being myopic. So, for example, it is important to consider both short-term ‘momentum’ and long-term ‘value’ when investing: they are, as it were, two sides of the same coin. Niels’ book, and the approach he takes to separating out key long-term structural issues and hammering home their importance, may help to redress the balance. And it may well help a number of investors to improve upon their own approaches. Sushil Wadhwani, Founder of Wadhwani Asset Management
