Active vs Passive Investing

Full Show Notes:

Active Versus Passive Investing

Active versus passive investing is the one topic that can pretty quickly turn into a heated debate among investors. Why? Because financial analysts and investors often strongly favor one strategy over the other and would willingly defend it to the death. And although passive investing is the more popular option for investors, there is still a strong argument to be made for active investing.

 

For active investing, the investor must adopt a hands-on approach and act as a portfolio manager. The primary objective of this type of portfolio management is to take advantage of the stock market’s average returns and cash in on short-term price fluctuations. However, such a strategy requires expertise to know when to move in and out of a particular stock, bond, or asset class. On the other hand, passive investing is more of a long-term approach. Investors often limit buying and selling activities within their portfolios. Although this is a very cost-effective way to invest, the strategy demands that investors resist the temptation to react to the stock market’s every move. Nonetheless, the investment approach you choose is irrelevant as long as you know what you’re doing and make informed decisions every time.
