Buying stocks in India or the US can be a challenging task even for seasoned investors. There are more or less 5,000 stocks to pick from and each stock has its own pros and cons.

Even if you do manage to pick the right stocks, you’ll need to constantly monitor them. After all, market conditions may change at any time. Index mutual funds can provide a solid solution to these problems. 

What Are Index Funds?

Index funds are mutual funds or ETFs that invest in all the stocks from an index. They’re generally named after the index they invest in. For example, a Nifty 50 Index Fund will invest in all the stocks from the Nifty 50 index. 

Index funds consist of the same stocks in approximately the same proportion as the index they mirror. That’s why investing in index funds is popularly known as “buying the market”. 

This phrase isn’t entirely true. But it does convey a meaningful message. Instead of buying a stock or two, buy an entire index of diverse stocks to increase your odds of earning lucrative returns.

Diversification isn’t the only benefit of investing in index funds, as you’ll see in the upcoming sections. But it is arguably a top reason for everyday investors to explore index mutual funds.
