Has passive investing come to an end? | The impact of cost-averaging

From: justETF - Wednesday Jun 15,2022 05:22 pm

Dear Leslie,

the current situation on the stock markets remains challenging for investors. The war in Ukraine, high inflation and rising interest rates caused prices to fall in the first six months of the year.

This raises the question: Is passive investing with ETFs still appropriate in such times? Or would it be better to manage one's portfolio actively in order to be able to react better to current conditions?

Find the answer in this newsletter – as well as the result of us testing the impact of cost-averaging during one of the most volatile periods in market history.
