In this video, I go over 4 popular index funds that can be included in your investing portfolio to invest in the long run for capital appreciation. Some great index funds in this video are s&p 500 index funds, russell 2000 value index funds like small caps, information technology index funds, and semiconductor index funds. Some examples of etfs that are similar to the index funds are voo, splg, iwm, avuv, smh, soxx, vgt, ftec, xlk, and so much more. I also touch on Direct Indexing which is a strategy that was only accessible to the ultra wealthy but is now available to ordinary investors like me and you with Frec. Direct indexing involves directly purchasing individual components of a particular index, rather than purchasing shares of a mutual fund or an ETF that mirrors an index's performance. It has great benefits like tax-loss harvesting, customization, low fees, and so much more. I do hope you can take the time to SUBSCRIBE and LIKE this video 👍,PLEASE do have a fantastic day & always remember to do your own research before you buy any of these best index funds for 2024 and beyond. *Update: The data (returns) spoken for the Russell 2000 index (small caps) was for the Russell 2000 index and not the Russell 2000 value fund.
