Considered more noble, the first approach is favored.
Except that the performances of the latter – ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), or trackers – are often superior, with active managers struggling to beat the indices which serve as their reference (Benchmark) over time. Less than 10% achieve this over three years.

It can be a general index such as the CAC 40, the American indices S&P 500 or Nasdaq, global indices with the MSCI World, or sectoral indices on raw materials or themes (energy transition, electronic commerce, carbon, cybersecurity, etc.).
