Index Funds

|
Index funds strive to achieve the same return as a particular market index, such as the S&P 500® Index, the MSCI EAFE Index, or the Dow Jones US Total Stock Market Index. Learn more about index funds. The goal of these types of funds are to track a specific Index and because they do not have a fund manager who is selecting individual securities, they tend to have lower costs than actively managed mutual funds. You potentially can save money on expenses, but the funds' objective is to track a benchmark, so you should be comfortable with returns that mirror that of the benchmark, as index fund are not attempting to outperform the index. In addition to traditional index funds, Fidelity offers a suite of Enhanced Index funds that seek to outperform the benchmark index while matching the risk, yield and other characteristics of a comparable index fund.
