Active investing tries to beat the market through research, stock selection, and professional management. Passive investing tracks a market index at a lower cost. But which strategy is better for long-term investors?
In this video, we compare active funds and passive index funds, explain how investment fees compound over time, discuss benchmark selection, and show why recent fund performance does not always predict future results.
You will also learn when active investing may make sense, how to use a core-and-satellite portfolio, and how to compare an active fund with a similar index fund after fees. Recent Morningstar research found that only 38 percent of active funds beat comparable passive funds in 2025 after fees, highlighting how difficult consistent outperformance can be.
This video is for general education only and is not personal financial advice. Investment performance varies by market, fund category, time period, fees, taxes, and individual circumstances.
