@theashleymfox: Girl Math x Shoes x Stocks. Before you buy your next stock, make sure you understand this. Investing in a single stock works, but you don’t want all your eggs in one basket. Your money is tied to one company, which means your investment rises or falls based on how that company performs. Index funds approach investing differently. An index fund is a type of mutual fund or ETF designed to follow a market index such as the S&P 500, which represents many of the largest companies in the United States. Ideally it’s the average of many vs the performance of one. Instead of relying on one company to perform well, your investment is spread across hundreds of businesses. This creates diversification, keeps costs lower than many actively managed funds, and it allows wealth builders to participate in the broader growth of the market over time. Once you understand this, it becomes a lot easier to invest, visit the link empify.link/stocks to register for my new training focused on Stocks & ETFs. I walk through different stocks and funds that can help you get started. #ashleymfox #invest #indexfunds
