โ€œIndex funds operate on the Efficient Market Hypothesisโ€”that most active managers fail to beat the market long-term. By minimizing fees (often <0.05%), index funds capture the broad economic growth of the corporate world.

QuantCurb Pro Tip

A difference of 1% in annual fees can cost you over $500,000 in lost compounding over a 40-year investment period. Always choose "Low Expense Ratio" funds.
