Index Mutual Fund
A mutual fund that simply copies a stock market index like the S&P 500 instead of trying to beat it.
Index funds have super-low fees because the manager doesn’t have to do much research — they just follow the index. Over long periods they beat most actively managed funds after fees.It's like a robot that buys every single player on the basketball team instead of trying to pick only the superstars.
Real world: An S&P 500 index mutual fund owns a little bit of every one of the 500 biggest U.S. companies so you automatically own the whole market.
💡 Index mutual funds are the easiest and cheapest way to invest in the whole stock market — just buy, hold, and let the market do the work.
