Index Funds are a GREAT way for new investors and even seasoned investors to play the stock market

They offer diversification and lower risk all in one

Let me explain a little about Index Funds for you

"Building Wealth With Index Funds"

THREAD

1/

Index Funds are simple investment vehicles that track the major indexes. Pretty self-explanatory

You cannot invest directly in the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq, but you can buy an index fund that tracks them

S&P 500 $FXAIX
Nasdaq $FNCMX
Total Market $FSKAX

2/

For example, the S&P 500 tracks 500 of the largest US stocks in the market based on Market Cap

So by investing in the $FXAIX you own portions of these great companies and MANY more

$AAPL
$MSFT
$TSLA
$FB
$GOOGL
$AMZN
$JNJ
$BRK.B
$JPM

In fact, the GREAT Warren Buffett believed that Index Funds were and still are the BEST investment for new investors

He instructed the trustee of his estate to invest in Index Funds once he is gone

4/

"Beating the market" a term often used for outperforming the S&P 500 is a VERY difficult thing to do, even for professional investors

From 2001 - 2016 Index Funds outperformed 90% of Active Hedge Funds

In '19, 29% of active fund mgrs beat the S&P 500 benchmark

So if you are looking to get started, Index Funds and ETFs are a great place to build the foundation of your portfolio
