Active Mutual Fund
A mutual fund where a professional manager tries to pick the best stocks or bonds to beat the market.
Active funds charge higher fees because of all the research and trading. Some managers do beat the market for a while, but most don’t over the long run after fees.It's like hiring a star coach who studies every player and tries to build a dream team that wins more games than everyone else.
Real world: The manager of an active large-cap fund might sell Apple and buy Tesla because they think Tesla will grow faster than the rest of the market.
💡 Active mutual funds sound exciting but most can’t beat a simple index fund after you pay the higher fees — only pick them if you really trust the manager.
