In this post, we are going to introduce the best 5 index funds to invest in right now (NOT AN FINANCIAL ADVICE). You may wonder why we should buy index funds instead of buying individual stock when you come across this blog post. According to the well-known investor at all time, Warren Buffett, the best investing strategy for the majority of investors is index funds which are great for those that want to buy and hold for long times without worry paying massive amounts of fees for active management and wanted to grow their money passively.

An index fund is a pooled investment that you can buy within your brokerage account that contains many different individual stocks within sectors or industries. When buying index funds mean you own a small percentage of every stock inside those pools.
