Experts suggest 40–60% portfolio allocation to passive funds during market volatility

Market experts say passive funds are likely to play a bigger role in investor portfolios as markets remain volatile and unpredictable. Moneyfront CEO & Co-founder Mohit Gang and Axis AMC’s Head of Institutional & Passive Business Vandana Trivedi suggest investors keep 40–60% of their portfolios in index-based passive funds to capture overall market returns, while using active funds selectively to seek alpha. They believe passive investing can help investors stay disciplined, reduce costs and participate in long-term market growth.
