An index fund is a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed to follow preset rules to replicate the performance of a specified financial market index. These funds offer broad market exposure, low operating expenses, and low portfolio turnover. They are a cornerstone of passive investing, allowing investors to track the performance of indices like the S&P 500.
