Explained in plain English
What is passive investing?
Passive investing is a strategy where you buy and hold investments designed to mirror a market index, like the Nasdaq 100. Instead of trying to pick winning stocks, you aim to match the market's overall performance. So, when SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100, passive funds tracking that index would automatically buy its shares.
