Difference between active and index

Active management is based on the belief that the broad market can be beaten by picking higher performing securities or asset classes, despite the higher fees involved. Index (or passive)management is based on the belief that the broad market cannot be consistently beaten. Index options aim to replicate the performance of a broad market index such as the S&P/ASX 300 for Australian shares.
