Math: Active Vs. Passive Funds

It’s important to note that some funds have higher fees because they are managed by a professional called an investment manager. Let’s take a closer look at how these fees compare across different types of funds in this activity. Follow the directions on the worksheet in GC to complete the activity.


Actively managed fund: investment manager picks and chooses which companies will be in the fund

Passively managed fund: companies in a fund that automatically aligns closely with the market (for example, S&P 500)
