Index funds have a long history but have grown in popularity over the past few decades by offering low-cost exposure to financial markets and a consistent investment style. As passive strategies, they mirror benchmark indexes. Index fund shareholders do not pay management fees to portfolio managers for researching securities, selecting a portfolio, and seeking to manage risk.
