Description

Do you have a major cash outlay looming?   Do you want to stay invested in stocks but are concerned that, in the meantime, a large market drop will leave you with insufficient assets?  If so, passive investing may not be for you.   That's because passive investing mimics the ups-and-downs of a market index such as the S&P 500.  It provides no downside protection.  Instead, you might want to invest in a more defensive actively-managed portfolio.   This QuickTake offers some thoughts on the issue.
