Index Funds
An index fund is a type of unit investment trust whose asset pattern exactly repeats the set of securities circulating on one or another stock market or entering a specific exchange index. Profitability of investments in an index fund is pegged to the growth of corresponding index of stock market. Acquisition of index funds equities allows investors to make their investments at once in all equities of companies of a particular country (US, Germany, Japan), region or economy sector (power engineering, pharmaceutics).
With investments in index funds the investor does not need to delve deeply into the fine points of the economic activity of each issuer and the investor earns on the growth of the whole market or its individual sector. It may be added that in the modern economic space most processes are interrelated and often make an impact not so much upon the activity of individual companies but rather on the branch of economy or the stock market as a whole.
Equities of popular index funds circulate on US and European stock markets as ordinary securities thus making investments in these equities quick and liquid. Among the main advantages of index funds there are also:
low operational expenses since index funds do not need many staff while their task is to mirror one or another stock market or its segment
tax exemptions
minimal risk due to high diversification (investments of the fund are distributed among many equities)
convenience for investors since the minimum amount of investments in index funds is usually not high but the investor gets the opportunity to take part in the growth of the whole market
Index funds are not the only type of investments whose profitability is tagged to the growth of stock market indices. For clients with a more aggressive investing strategy and higher profitability targets we offer operations with Futures Contracts for US and European exchange indices.
