How Index Investing Works
- Index investing means buying all shares in a market in proportion to their size.
- It offers a low-cost, passive approach compared to active fund management.
Index Funds: Fire and Forget
- Use index funds for a "fire and forget" strategy by staying invested long-term.
- Avoid panic selling and keep regularly adding to your investment.
Index Funds and Concentration Risk
- Index funds have concentration risks by overweighting recent winners like NVIDIA.
- Despite flaws, around 80% of fund managers fail to outperform the index over time.
