Episode 153: How to Choose a Good Index Fund

from The Grow Your Wealthy Mindset Podcast · host Elisa Chiang

Send us Fan MailIndex fund investing is the best way to invest in the stock market. It has low fees, is tax efficent, and hands off while providing better returns over a 10 year period compared to 90% of actively managed mutual funds. However, not all index funds are created equal. There are index funds that have relatively high expenses and high turnover leading to tax inefficiency. There are also index funds that don’t track the index they are following particularly well, leading to subpar returns. Choosing Index Funds is easy at Vanguard, Fidelity, or Charles Schwab who provide generally good index funds. But what about your employer sponsored retirement account where you may not have access to Vanguard or Fidelity Funds?
