What is Passive Investing? How’s it different from putting your money through active investments? Explained | Mint
Passive investing puts your money in funds that simply follow a market index like the Nifty 50 or Sensex, so you don't pick individual stocks yourself. It suits investors who want lower costs and long holding periods. Returns mirror the index, so if the market falls, your money falls too. Check the fund's cost and how closely it tracks its index before you invest.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Passive funds follow a market index such as the Nifty 50 or Sensex, so you do not choose each company yourself.
- Passive funds usually cost less than active funds because they spend less on research and trade less often.
- Passive investing does not remove risk, so if the tracked market falls, your investment can also lose value.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Review the costs of any index fund or ETF and how closely it follows its index, and see whether the choice fits your goals, available time and comfort with market falls before you invest.
