Passive voice

"Some financial words and expressions used in business and the stock market."

The sentence above is a "S + V + O", If I am wrong please correct me on this point.

I am wondering if this sentence should be re-written in passive form.

"Some financial words and expression are used in business and the stock market."

Is there any difference by adding "are" in the sentence? Because as far as I know, It could make a huge diffidence.

Thank you very much.
