Index Funds vs Mutual Funds

[SolracNexus]

Imagine if he made an entire course about finance, that would be a great starting point for people pursuing the field

[jps]

I would have titled this "Index Funds vs Managed Funds". An index fund is generally considered a type of mutual fund.

[usmanmir]

[PierceJPeterson]

Low cost index funds (or ETFs) are the way to go! Just buy & hold 😤

[NissanR]

I like this, everyone is so private with money that this is refreshing... 👍

[fofita]

Woo hoo! So good to see Sapreet on here! @minoritymindset

This is completely incorrect. Should say active vs passive ("index" is an investing style and "mutual funds" is a type of legal entity structure).
-Index funds are mutual funds (can be ETFs or regular mutual funds)
- there are passive funds with high fees and visa versus.
- you can place orders for Mf’s all day. They just price and settle at end of day
- there are actively managed index funds which are speculative ( ie revenue weighted vs cap, sectors, beta etc)
-3:55 you said you were limited to how often you can buy yourself an index fund. ETF index funds (the vast majority of passive funds) trade like stocks and you can buy and sell literally every second of the day

[JanineKazmi]

Thank you for your video, so helpful and super easy to teach and explain.

[sweeteime]

What’s better to buy funds that grow aggressively in the next 5-10 years or the ones that grow at a lower rate in the long run

[akin]

Quick correction:
- A mutual fund can be actively managed or indexed. 45% as of 2020 were indexed.

- An ETF can be actively managed or indexed. 98% of ETFs are indexed.

An Index Fund IS a Mutual Fund, period. However the management strategy varies for different funds. An Index Mutual Fund is managed by selecting securities only by an "index" like the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000, etc. Other "mutual funds" are actively managed by the fund manager by what he (or she) thinks is a good security to add to the fund's portfolio. I'm rather surprised that this guy didn't make the distinction between "Index Funds" and "Exchange Traded

Like a lot of things it depends on how it is used to determine if it is good or bad for society.

[fishnsteve]
