Passive vs Active Mutual Fund Strategy
Active Strategy:-
Active investing, as its name implies, takes a hands-on approach and requires that someone act in the role of a portfolio manager.
The goal of active money management is to beat the stock market’s average return
(2/18)
Passive Strategy:-
Passive investing entails a non-active role on part of the investor.
When you invest in a diversified portfolio with low costs and a long-term horizon, it tends to deliver returns comparable to the market average.

ETFs or index funds: Which should you choose?
Both ETFs & index funds are passive products that track an underlying index.
ETFs track a particular index, such as the Sensex or the Nifty, and trade on a stock exchange, just like stocks
Liquidity can be a problem in ETFs

Index Funds track a particular index, such as the Sensex or the Nifty 50, however, they are like mutual funds and are bought and sold back to a Mutual fund company.
Costs are higher in index funds than in ETFs
However small retail investors should stick to index funds!

Tracking error(TE):-
TE is the difference between the scheme’s return and the benchmark index’s return.

While index funds try and replicate an underlying as close as possible, there is likely to be a gap due on account of factors such as expenditure incurred by the fund, cash balance, or portfolio deviation.
