Vanguard — Index vs. Active

From Lee McGowan, About.com Guide   October 23, 2009

Follow me on:

I have been blogging about ETFs vs. mutual funds for the last few months. I made the argument that the debate regarding ETFs and mutual funds should first be a debate regarding indexing versus active-management. This argument raised several questions.

Readers want to understand more about indexing (and passive management) and active mutual fund management. If you have the same questions, Vanguard's site has a comparison of the two styles or you can start by reading one or more pieces I have written on the topic. See the below links.
