passives
Verb voice constructions
Passives are financial instruments that track an index rather than trying to beat it—index funds and ETFs that simply mirror the market.
The term contrasts with actives, where fund managers pick individual stocks.
She moved her retirement savings into passives to reduce fees.
In grammar, passives are verb constructions where the subject receives the action rather than performs it.
