An Index ETF is a type of investment that combines the best of both worlds: the structure of an index fund and the flexibility of an ETF. It tracks a specific market index, like the S&P 500, by holding all (or a representative sample) of the stocks in that index. But unlike traditional index funds, it trades on the stock exchange like a regular stock. That means you can buy or sell it throughout the day, using your brokerage or investment account.

For many investors, an Index ETF is a simple, low-cost way to get diversified exposure to the stock market without having to pick individual companies one by one.
