FAQ

What is passive investing?

Passive investing means building a diversified portfolio (often with ETFs or index funds) and holding it for the long term, with minimal trading and low costs.

Do I need to trade often with passive investing?

No. Passive investing typically involves initial allocation and occasional rebalancing, not frequent trading. Many brokers offer automated recurring investments.

Are there commission-free ETF brokers?

Yes. Many brokers offer commission-free trading on a large selection of ETFs, which helps keep costs down for passive investors.
