Best Answer

According to the writings of John Bogle (who founded the Vanguard Group and popularized index investing), an index fund has low costs compared to other funds, has low turnover from frequent trading, and maximizes your potential to earn the full profit of the market itself.

A good index fund, such as the S&P 500 index fund or the total market fund, is easy to buy and very easy to manage. They also perform well over time.
