In the world of investing, the debate between active and passive strategies has been significant among many investors. While active investing involves selecting individual stocks and timing the market, passive investing focuses on tracking market indices through funds.
This episode dives deep into the nuances of both approaches, exploring their historical performance, current trends, and what they mean for investors today.
Specifically, we chatted about:
- The key differences between the active vs passive investment strategies
- What the general consensus was when it came to passive investing
- How the overall sentiment has changed throughout time, particularly overseas and perhaps in NZ.
- Why it's so difficult to beat the market and the percentage of NZ fund managers that actually can beat the index.
