Investing in depth · Module 19

Invest active
or passive?

Two worlds collide – and costs often decide the winner.

Two ways
Active

Wanting to beat the market

Goalbetter than the market
Costsmanagement and trading
Feesalways due
Passive

Simply track the market

Goalbe the market
Cheapno costly selection
Market returnwithout bets
The crux

Costs eat return

The lesson

Cheap often wins

The corecheap and broad
Activetargeted, not everywhere
Costsalways watch
Good to know

Do you know your fees?

💡 First step: Active wants to beat the market, passive tracks it cheaply – and because costs eat return over the years and most active funds don't beat the market, cheap is usually the wiser choice for the core.
