What is an index fund?

An index fund is an equity fund that is suitable for people who prioritise low costs and have a savings timeframe of more than six years. You can usually choose between two different types of fund – index funds or active funds.

Index funds only follow the movements of a stock market index and do not try to beat it. These kinds of mutual funds are therefore cheaper to run than actively managed mutual funds. This benefits you as the customer because the management fee is much lower. Low costs can be positive for the returns you achieve on your savings in the long term.
