Passive Investing

Passive investors believe the secret to boosting returns is by trading as little as possible and allowing the market to be the manager of their funds.

Mr Buffett believes most stock investors are better off with low-cost index funds than paying higher fees to managers who often underperform. He told Fortune magazine he expects to write "a lot" about passive investing.

Bharti Airtel shares rose as much as 4.4 per cent on Wednesday on hopes that passive funds will invest in the stock after MSCI doubled the mobile carrier's weightage in its India index.

Piramal's investment is aimed as a strategic involvement rather than a passive financial investor, boosting Shriram's outlook, said an analyst with a leading domestic brokerage.

Recently, a friend came to me and asked me a question that I have literally been asked hundreds of times in my life: "Raghu, how do I get started with investing?" He had some extra funds sitting on the side and wasn't happy with the returns he was getting at his local bank.
