Total Stock Market Index Fund

A Total Stock Market Index Fund is an investment fund that aims to replicate the performance of the entire stock market by holding a wide range of stocks across all sectors and companies, from small to large. By investing in this fund, you gain diversified exposure to the overall economy's growth, reducing risk associated with individual stocks. It’s a passive investment strategy, meaning it tracks a specific index, like the CRSP U.S. Total Market Index, offering a cost-effective way to participate in the stock market's long-term upward trend.
