Stock Index Investment

Stock index investment involves purchasing a financial product that tracks the performance of a specific group of stocks, known as an index (e.g., the S&P 500). Instead of buying individual stocks, investors buy into this index, which spreads their money across many companies, reducing risk and mirroring the overall market's performance. These investments can be made through index funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). It’s a way to diversify your portfolio, aiming for stable growth over time, without needing to pick individual stocks.
