The passive Investing is a popular investment strategy worldwide. This strategy aims at getting maximum returns with minimum sales and purchase.
Passive investing strategy aims at keeping costs as low as possible, but building on returns. This strategy looks to avoid any fees or limited performance that occurs with trading frequently. It focuses on building on wealth gradually.

It emphasises on buying security for long-term and therefore it is also known as the buy-and-hold strategy. This means that it focusses on buying a good collection of long-term holdings that are balanced across various industries, sectors, market capitalisation sizes and countries. These holdings are never sold under almost any circumstance despite the distress in conditions.
Passive investing works well under the majority of the circumstances because investors are protected from their own irrational behaviour. Investors are prone to panic or have little or no knowledge of Accounting and finance along with time constraints. The passive investing strategy helps investing at a low cost and gaining returns in the long-term.
Passive investment strategy has received due attention only in the past few decades. Index Funds help in taking the full advantage of this strategy by helping with regular purchases along with other additional purchases through the dollar-cost averaging method.
Index funds were introduced in the 1970s. It made some successful returns in the market. In the 1990s, ETFs that tracks major indices like SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), made this process simpler by letting investors trade index funds like stocks.

Passive investing through indexing is a brilliant way of diversification. Maintaining a well-diversified Portfolio is essential for investors to successfully invest.
As there is no fund management team to pick stocks, it comes at low cost. Passive stocks follow the index they employ as the benchmark.
Passive investing is a buy-and-hold strategy, which helps investors to assess and hold their stocks for the long-term. Therefore, the investor will not be seeing any massive capital gain within a year, which leads to tax-efficiency.
Its major advantage is when passive investing is done through index funds. It is because assets are clearly visible when it comes to index funds.

Passive investing and active investment strategies have certain differences.
They are mentioned below:
| Passive Investing | Active Investing |
|---|---|
| Passive Investing involves low costs | Active investing is very expensive because of active buying, etc. |
| Passive investing is limited to a particular index or already determined set of investment with no scope for a variance | Active investing involves flexibility with the buying of stocks and don’t require to follow a specific index |
Passive investing is about portfolios tied with index funds or ETFs. However, take a look at the strategies mentioned below:
An investor can buy index funds to take complete advantage of this strategy. Index fund purchases the entire index stock with the same proportion as the index. This can be purchased from distributors and fund houses online. One of the major advantages of index funds is that the costs are extremely low as compared to active funds.
Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs) create a portfolio of index stocks in the same proportion as the index fund. However, ETFs are listed on the stock exchange and can be purchased and sold at popular well-known stock exchanges. Investors can avail ETFs on gold, silver, equity indices, debt market indices, etc. This can be purchased and sold through the investor’s existing equity Trading Account and can be held under the regular Demat account.
Investors can use the passive investing strategy with direct equities too. But the challenge will lie in the tracking index changes, weightage changes, corporate actions among others.

According to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), ETFs attracted Rs. 24,083 crore in the first eight months of the financial year 2020. This was because of double inflow based on Large cap funds and half of the total inflows based on Equity Funds during the time. Therefore, the combined flow in equity scheme between April and November 2019 was Rs. 48,891 crore.
A report mentioned that the lower expense ratio, market polarisation for large-cap stocks, converging returns with large-cap funds, provident funds investment in an equity markets by ETFs play the major role in this increase.
