The Advantages of Investing in Index fund.
Low Cost fees – Vanguard funds don’t charge commission fees to buy into the fund
Higher return to investor – Vanguard funds don’t hire expensive stock analysts, don’t rapidly move in and out of position. This saves on operational cost. The money saved is moved that is distributed to investors as gains.
Stable Return. Vanguard fund never claims to beat the index. The returns are average but stable.
