"As of 2014, index funds made up 20.2% of equity mutual fund assets in the US."

So about 20-25% of the entire U.S. stock market. That means that the market is still dominated by active trading.
Still, I wonder what will happen if enough people put their money into index funds. It feels like the current high prices in stocks have something to do with the rise in popularity of index funds.
