Is there a list of all index funds that I can look through to determine which will be the best for me?
I’m going to begin investing for the first time and I want to invest in index or mutual funds. When I try to find a list of index funds by searching on the internet, all I see are articles with titles like “The Best Index Fund for Your Money” or “Best Index Funds for 2019.” I’d ike to know where I can find a whole list of as many funds as possible so I can look through and determine which I think will be best for me.
I was not able to find such a list. Typically, you will have to go directly to the mutual fund company or your broker to purchase these types of funds. I wouls start with learning about the different indexes that are out there (S&P 500, Bond indexes, International indexes, etc.) first and then build out your portfolio allocation from there. If you hit a road block, feel free to reach out to me for a no-cost, no-obligation consultation at https://calendly.com/jcjones/investopedia and I might be able to help.
Good luck!
