Portfolio Manager

The person or persons responsible for investing a mutual, exchange-traded or closed-end fund's assets, implementing its investment strategy and managing the day-to-day portfolio trading.

Portfolio Management

In the case of mutual and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), there are two forms of portfolio management: passive and active.

Passive management simply tracks a market index, commonly referred to as indexing or index investing. Closed-end funds are generally actively managed
