Previous issue date: 2015 / The aim of this project is the comparison between the pros and cons of passive and active management by conducting a statistical study of several strategies through Exchange-Traded Funds. In particular, the examination will go through the most passive strategy, namely buy & hold, to a different degree of active indexing management such as sector and/or asset class rotations based on bottom-up, top-down and technical indicators. The analysis show that active strategies, if properly implemented, obtain risk-adjusted returns substantially higher than a passive approach, overcoming the issues of transaction costs and diversification which are typically claimed by a passive management. / O objectivo deste projecto é a comparação entre os prós e contras de gestão passiva e ativa através da realização de um estudo estatístico de várias estratégias através dos Exchange-Traded Funds. Em particular, a análise vai passar pela estratégia mais passiva, ou seja, buy and hold, para um grau diferente de active indexing management, tais como rotações do sector e / ou classe de ativos com base no bottom-up, top-down e indicadores técnicos. A análise mostra que as estratégias ativas, se forem devidamente aplicadas, conseguem obter retornos ajustados ao risco substancialmente superiores quando comparados com uma abordagem passiva, superando as questões de custos de transação e diversificação que normalmente são reivindicadas por uma gestão passiva.
