Why Index Investing: Because indexes are forever | iShares by BlackRock
Welcome to the final installment of our series exploring the power of index ETFs. Over four episodes we've been discussing why indexes:
- Ensure you don't miss out on growth
- Offer income without the hassle
- Cut your losers, double-down on your winners
- Are designed to last forever (this episode)
In this episode we're taking a closer look at why indexes may be the only truly timeless investment product.
We all love the idea of being a long term investor, but not every investment is designed to be long-term. The history of the stock market is a history of companies rising and falling, of one generation's giants being disrupted by a new wave of companies.
When it comes to index ETFs, it is a completely different proposition. They are designed to be timeless and capture the growth in the stock market, wherever it comes from next. Tune in to today's episode to find out how.
