Is the “Passive Bubble” finally reaching a breaking point? I sat down with Mike Green, Portfolio Manager and Chief Strategist at Simplify, live from the Future Proof conference in Miami to discuss the structural shifts moving the markets in 2026.Mike is widely known for his groundbreaking work on how passive flows distort price discovery, but in this interview, we pivot to actionable solutions. We explore the Simplify philosophy and dive deep into how income investors can actually thrive in a market defined by high volatility and “inelastic” flows.We also take a close look at the Simplify High Yield ETF (CDX). Mike explains how this fund aims to provide high-yield exposure while utilizing sophisticated credit default swaps to manage the very risks that passive indexing ignores.About Simplify:Simplify Asset Management was founded to help advisors and investors solve today’s most pressing portfolio challenges by providing next-generation building blocks that pair traditional asset classes with institutional-grade derivatives.#MikeGreen #Simplify #PassiveInvesting #IncomeInvesting #HighYield #CDX #StockMarket2026 #FutureProof #ETFInvestingIf you want a better way to track your dividend portfolio, try Snowball Analytics!
