Index Investing

Index investing is a passive investment strategy that involves buying and holding an ETF, or similar product, designed to replicate the performance of a specific market index, such as the S&P/TSX Composite or the S&P 500.

Instead of trying to beat the market through active stock picking or market timing, index investors aim to match the market’s long-term returns at a low cost (low product fees). Index investing appeals to those seeking simplicity, consistency, and reliable growth over time, making it especially popular for long-term goals like retirement or wealth accumulation.
