Active Management is a strategy used by investors to mitigate risk in the market by actively buying and selling securities.  Unlike passive investing, which simply tracks an index, active managers use their expertise to identify undervalued securities and capitalize on market trends. 

 Disclosure: No strategy can guarantee profit or protection against loss. Investing involves risk. Depending on the types of investments, there may be varying degrees of risk. Investors should be prepared to bear loss, including total loss of principal.
