The Simple Path to Wealth: Why Index Funds Win

Most active fund managers fail to beat the market index over long periods once fees are factored in.

Low Costs

Since index funds just track a list of stocks, they don't need expensive analysts, leading to much lower fees for you.

Broad Diversification

With an S&P 500 or Total Market index fund, you instantly own a small piece of hundreds or thousands of companies.

Emotional Benefits

You don't need to worry about which stock will be tomorrow's winner. You just own the whole market.
