Traditional Investing & Portfolio Theory

What is the difference between active and passive investing?

Active investing tries to beat the market through selection and timing decisions made by a manager or individual; passive investing tracks a defined index and accepts the market's return, usually at lower cost. For example, an active fund picks individual stocks to outperform, while a passive index fund simply holds the index's constituents in their set weights. Active aims for outperformance and carries higher fees and judgment risk; passive prioritises rules and transparency. Qatobit's QSI indices are rules-based and rebalanced monthly to a documented methodology, sitting on the passive side of this line. Read the methodology before the returns.

Crypto investments are subject to market risk and volatility. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. This is general information, not investment advice — consider your own circumstances or consult a qualified adviser before investing.
