Passive Management

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Passive Management
An investing strategy that mirrors a market index and does not attempt to beat the market. Also known as "passive strategy" or "passive investing."

Notes:
Followers of passive management believe in the efficient market hypothesis. It states that at all times markets incorporate and reflect all information, so stock picking is futile. As a result, the best investing strategy is to invest in an index fund. This is the opposite of active management.
