How it Differs from Individual Stocks? An Index Fund contains multiple stocks, unlike buying a single company's stock.
It provides built-in diversification, reducing the risk of individual stock losses.
Index Funds are good way to invest passively. Historically, Index Funds tend to perform well over long periods.
Passive investing has benefit of lower fees due to less active management and less effort required— no need to pick and monitor individual stocks.
