Mutual funds are actively managed, and ETFs are passively managed investment options.

Which funds are known as passively managed funds?

Passive Funds

A passive fund is a type of fund that religiously tracks a market index to allow a fund to fetch maximum gains. The fund manager does not actively choose what stocks the fund will be comprised of, which is the case in an active fund. This usually makes passive funds easier to invest in than active funds.

Is Vanguard passively managed?

Vanguard index funds use a passively managed index-sampling strategy to track a benchmark index. The type of benchmark depends on the asset type for the fund. Vanguard then charges expense ratios for the management of the index fund.
