150- Why Passive Investing Should Be Your Gold Standard

from Headsup On Money · host Boomer

In this episode, Benjamin explains why passive investing is actually an active investment decision based on sound evidence rather than conjecture. The active versus passive debate is all around us, and often, passive is framed as the second-best option. The reality, however, is that it couldn't be further from the truth. Evidence and history do not lie. Here's a link to the SPIVA analysis Benjamin referred to in the show. Join Benjamin Mitchell (themoneyscot), serial hater of financial jargon, as he helps make your finances clearer and ensures you never make another financial mistake. Getting on top of your personal finances doesn't need to be complicated or scary.
