"When you invest in the S&P 500 index fund you’re making a passive bet on the long term future and growth of large American businesses. You’re buying Apple but you’re also buying the 499 other largest businesses." 

Nick McCullum is the Director of Growth at Passiv and The Finance Data Science Guy. We chatted about long-term passive investing and an overview of algorithmic investing.

Passiv is a portfolio management tool that makes it easier for DIY investors to maintain a balanced portfolio and build a passive investment strategy.
