The factors that active investors consider include earnings growth, return of equity, debt ratios and P/E ratios, cash flow, book values, dividend payout, management, share price history, and more. They then decide whether or not to take the chance and purchase shares in the company. If they feel the company is undervalued they will purchase shares in the hope that the price rises. However, if they feel that the company is too valuable, they will wait for it to drop before they buy stock.

You may choose to track multiple stocks in a fund, but you want to also select several companies. In this scenario, part of your portfolio would be put into a passively-managed fund, while the other part would go into a collection actively managed funds.
