stock picker
Equity investment chooser
A stock picker is an investor or fund manager who selects individual stocks rather than investing in index funds or diversified portfolios.
The term implies active judgment about which companies will outperform: She's a skilled stock picker who consistently beats the market.
Stock picking contrasts with passive investing strategies that simply track market indices.
