Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you want to match the market's way
No need to pick and choose each day
Passive strategies keep it simple and clean
Following indexes like a tracking machine
Full replication buys them all
Every single stock both big and small
Mirror the market share by share
Perfect matching everywhere

[Chorus]
Full replication, stratified sampling, optimization too
Three passive ways to make your portfolio true
Match the market, don't try to beat
Keep your costs low and stay complete
Full replication, stratified sampling, optimization too
Passive investing working for you

[Verse 2]
But buying everything costs too much
Stratified sampling has the magic touch
Divide the index into groups so neat
By sector, size, or industry beat
Sample from each bucket carefully
Maintain the weights proportionally
Lower costs but tracking's still tight
Keep your portfolio shining bright

[Chorus]
Full replication, stratified sampling, optimization too
Three passive ways to make your portfolio true
Match the market, don't try to beat
Keep your costs low and stay complete
Full replication, stratified sampling, optimization too
Passive investing working for you

[Bridge]
Optimization is the smartest way
Mathematical models lead the day
Minimize tracking error with fewer stocks
While transaction costs stay on the blocks
Risk and return characteristics matched
Your passive strategy perfectly hatched

[Verse 3]
Market performance is your goal
Let the index play its role
No stock picking, no timing games
Just steady returns without the flames
Lower fees mean more for you
Passive strategies tried and true
When markets rise your portfolio grows
Following where the index goes

[Chorus]
Full replication, stratified sampling, optimization too
Three passive ways to make your portfolio true
Match the market, don't try to beat
Keep your costs low and stay complete
Full replication, stratified sampling, optimization too
Passive investing working for you

[Outro]
Passive strategies, simple and wise
Match the market, watch returns rise
