Investing Tip:

An ETF index fund is a mutual fund or ETF that aims to copy the movements of a market index (stock market, bond market, etc.) or a set of rules that are held constant, regardless of market conditions. Index funds provide broad market exposure, are passively managed and portfolio decisions are automatic. They also give investors substantial exposure to a high quantity of securities through a single security.
