Many, if not most of us are in the market for promising stocks that will boost our wealth over time. It can be hard to zero in on the best ones, though -- especially if we feel we don't have the time, skills, or inclination to study the universe of stocks.
Enter index funds . They tend to charge low fees if you buy them in exchange-traded fund (ETF) form. (An ETF is a fund that trades like a stock, making it easy to get in and out of.) If you invest in a good S&P 500 index fund, for example, you'll quickly be a part owner of 500 of America's biggest companies. That's powerful, as the S&P 500 and the overall stock market have notched average annual gains of close to 10% over many decades.
