3 Reasons to Invest in an S&P 500 Index Fund -- and 2 Reasons to Avoid It
Investing in the stock market can be daunting, but with the right investments, you can generate long-term wealth while limiting your risk.
S&P 500 index funds are a fantastic option for many people. Each fund tracks the S&P 500 index itself, meaning it includes stocks from 500 of the largest and strongest companies in the U.S. By investing in just one index fund, you'll own a stake in hundreds of different stocks at once.
