Mutual Funds: Active vs. Passive
Mutual funds are managed by portfolio managers who buy and sell the securities in the fund’s portfolio and monitor market conditions. Many funds are actively managed, meaning that the portfolio manager selects securities according to his or her investment philosophy and judgment in an attempt to outperform the market. Other funds, known as index funds, are passive investments that attempt to simply mirror a market index, such as the S&P/TSX Composite Index of Canadian stocks.
