Index Mutual Funds
Index Mutual Funds
Index funds are funds that represent a theoretical segment of the market and are designed to act as the performance and make-up of a financial market index. You can't invest in an index itself, but you can invest in an index fund. When you do so, you are utilizing a form of passive investing that sets rules by which stocks are included, then tracks the stocks without trying to beat them.\
These types of funds follow a benchmark index, like the Nasdaq 100 or S&P 500, and index funds have lower expenses and fees than funds that are actively managed.
People interested in investing in an index fund can generally do so through a mutual fund designed to mimic the index.
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)
ETFs are baskets of assets traded like securities. They can be bought and sold on an open exchange, just like regular stocks, as opposed to mutual funds, which are only priced at the end of the day.
