An index fund is a collection of different companies on a list you can put your money into that allows you to own portions to each of those companies within one purchase. An index fund is a type of mutual fund or exchange traded fund (ETF) that tracks the returns of a particular market index. A market index is a collection of securities (such as stocks or bonds) that represent a specific sector of a market or economy. A popular index fund is the S&P 500 that is the top 500 publicly traded companies based in the U.S. and is a broad scope of the U.S. economy. On Vanguard, the S&P 500 Index can be bought through two ways: VOO (ETF) or VFIAX (Mutual Fund). Best Vanguard Index Funds: 🇺🇸 DOMESTIC 🇺🇸 1.
