Active vs Passive Investing: How to Choose the Right Strategy for Long-Term Wealth
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The debate between active and passive investing is often reduced to fees and past performance. Disciplined, long-term value investors look deeper.
In this episode, Andrew Coleman and Sanjee Narendran unpack the real differences between active and passive investing — including how index funds, ETFs, and high-conviction active strategies behave across market cycles.
Rather than promoting one approach blindly, this discussion focuses on how investors should think about compounding, risk, incentives, and their own capabilities when deciding between active and passive strategies. The goal isn’t to follow industry narratives, but to make informed, disciplined decisions that support long-term wealth building.

- How passive investing, index funds, and ETFs actually work
- What defines true active investing
