Obviously passive are generally cheaper to hold.

    At the moment 100% active. Over the last few years I have had up to 30% passive (sector funds)

    This is not investment advice.

    Can anyone share some of their active funds so I can look at the funds/charges? What ones are most popular?

    I know woodford is/was popular but personally wouldn't invest in his now, after the recent press.

    And are you against passive funds? Or just believe active will outperform them?

    My largest pot is my SIPP, which is currently under 10% passive.

    For me its the usual suspects (Fundsmith, Lindsell Train GE) and a few smaller ones (Legg Mason Japan, Merian UK mid cap, Smithson). I am not against passive funds and have used them for sector exposure (tech and health) and US exposure over the years. At the moment I don't need them though and do better through active funds.
