What is passive investing?

This is the investment style espoused by index fund managers who simply invest by benchmarking their portfolio to a common stock market index like the BSE-30 or the SP CNX-50. The fund manager only invests in stocks in the index stocks in exactly the same weightage. The attempt is to simply replicate the benchmark index, as closely as possible and therefore it is called passive investing.
