Defensive investing is an investment strategy that focuses on generating stable passive income over a long period of time rather than huge profits within a short period. It minimizes risk exposure while enabling long-term returns. For investors who reinvest profits, defensive investing can result in exponential growth.

Defensive investing builds a portfolio of stable investment products like securities from certain sectors, such as health care, food and groceries, and utilities. These sectors maintain high-profit margins even during inflation because they adjust the prices of their products to the state of the economy. People can’t live without these products, so demand is virtually stable.
