Anyone else here bored and want to partake in a heated debate? What are your thoughts on active vs passive investing ? Should everyone really just throw all their money in an index fund or two?!

Allocation matters 50x more than active/passive. I always like when biz news spends their time on things that aren’t really that important. My other belief in investing is that when everyone is saying the same thing it’s almost always wrong.

So true! It's like the confidence index!

I would say over the long term yes but in the short term it is proven active can out perform passive. But long term passive outperform active and active can even underperform. So I would say diversify and only leave money in an active account short term

I only use active when they beat their index more years than mor in the last 10, otherwise I use an index.
As clients get more conservative I also use indexes since we are no longer trying to out perform.

Which indexes to use is the real question. Even the “passive” investors have to choose how much international, EM, REIT, Bonds (what types). Target dates have underperformed a lot which helps advisors
