What is Index Funds?

Index funds are mutual funds that tie their portfolio to a published benchmark. Using the mutual fund platform, the fund buys every security in the index with three goals: to be low-cost, to be transparent and to not make any claims to beat the benchmark. Because the index is changed infrequently (usually once a year, referred to as reconstitution), there is little trading done. This makes this type of investment passively managed and keeps the costs down. Because the portfolio is the same as the published benchmark, the investor knows exactly what the fund holds. And lastly, the fund should not beat the benchmark. It must first subtract the expenses. This gives the investor as close-to-the-market replication as possible. Index funds may benchmark large swaths of the markets, such as with a total market index or small sectors focused on a particular industry. They provide diversity and help the investor manage the risk in their portfolio.
