Investment Management While Cruising

For those who have cruised out of the U.S. for awhile or those who are planning to cruise for long periods, do you actively manage your stock/bond portfolio when you are cruising? In these days of dwindling pensions I foresee that investment income is going to keep us independent. But I don't see myself cruising in remote areas watching the stock market and making trades. I know it can be done technically, but what I'm wondering is do cruisers do it? Or hire someone? Or invest in index funds and let everything ride? I've seen a good thread on keeping a house (or not) while cruising, but I haven't seen anything on managing a portfolio. Any good books or articles on this?
