What is an Index Fund?

In today's short [What is an Index Fund?] video , we're diving into the world of investing and discussing a topic that may be unfamiliar to many - Index Funds.

So, what exactly is an index fund? Put simply, it is a type of mutual fund that tracks a specific stock market index. This means that instead of having a fund manager hand-select individual stocks for the fund, an index fund will automatically invest in all the stocks within a particular index.

But why choose an index fund over an actively managed fund? For starters, index funds tend to have lower fees, making them a more cost-effective option for investors. Additionally, they offer great diversification, reducing the risk of losing money on a particular stock.

The best part? Index funds are easily accessible to everyone. You can invest in them through various online platforms or with the guidance of a financial advisor.

So, whether you're new to investing or looking to expand your portfolio, consider adding an index fund to the mix.
