GLOSSARY TERM
Index Investing
Index investing means investing through funds or ETFs that aim to follow a market index.
What does this mean in practice?
Instead of trying to choose individual winners, you buy a fund that tracks a group of investments such as a US stock index, a European index or a global market index. This makes investing simpler and often more diversified, because one fund can already include many companies or bonds.
Example
You buy a world index ETF and get exposure to many companies from different countries through one investment. Rather than choosing each company yourself, you follow the market through the index.
Why it matters
Index investing is one of the simplest ways to combine diversification, low costs and consistency. For many long-term investors, it offers a practical way to build wealth without needing to make constant decisions.
