Active vs passive investing

Intermediate

There are two main approaches to managing your portfolio: active and passive.

Active investing takes  a hands-on approach to investing and has the goal of actively beating the market’s average returns by relying on fundamental and technical analysis to select the best assets at any given time. The rewards of active management are potentially higher, the fees are often higher as well.

Passive investing tries to mimic the performance of the market by investing in a group of assets that represent a part of the market or the overall market. When the overall market falls, passive portfolios tend to fall while rising when the market goes up. Index funds are a form of passive investing that buys and holds many different assets and then leaves them alone, which makes them more affordable.
