Active versus Passive Stock Investing: Episode Recap

This episode’s highlights include the following pearls:

passive stock investing
  • Actively managed accounts underperform passively managed funds 80% of the time
  • My stock portfolio is comprised of passively managed index funds that are designed to approximate the market average, not chase waterfalls
  • Fees in actively managed funds are going to kill you; the more active the stock investment portfolio, the more fees
  • Over an investorā€™s career, fees for actively managed portfolios can equal to hundreds of thousands of dollars
  • If you are looking for a winning financial formula, take 20% of your income as savings and invest it passively in broadly diversified, low cost index funds
