Active vs Passive -- Should You Switch to Index Funds?

In this episode of Investors’ Hangout, we dive into the timeless active vs passive debate and explore whether index funds, with their low costs and simplicity, have become a better choice for Indian investors compared to actively managed mutual funds. With rising interest in passive investing, many investors are unsure whether to shift entirely to index funds, stay with active funds, or balance both. We break down how large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap funds behave differently, why the Indian market still offers unique opportunities, and what new as well as experienced investors should consider before making the switch. If you're evaluating your equity strategy, comparing index funds vs active funds, or looking to build a smarter long-term portfolio, this conversation will give you the clarity you need—without taking sides.
