    About this audiobook

    An index fund does not pick and choose its investments, but instead holds all of the stocks or bonds on an index.

    So what’s an index? Basically, it is a list of investments. For example, the S&P 500 is a roster of the 500 largest US companies with publicly traded shares.

    Index funds don't try to beat the market; they simply aim to harness the power of the markets to deliver healthy long-term returns.

    Here's preview of what you'll learn:

    • Index funds and what they are
    • Important facts about index funds
    • Index funds make you a better than the average investor
    • How to begin index funds investment
    • The benefits and downsides of using index funds
    • And basically everything you need to know to achieve financial freedom
