Pros
✅ Low price.There will always be expenses associated with your investment, and index funds are no different.

It reduces the risk of being overexposed to a specific asset or industrial sector. While it’s very difficult to buy all of the investments that comprise an index, investing in an index fund gives you an affordable workaro...
Cons
❌Vulnerable to market crashes. Index funds are not immune to market swings or crashes. If the stock market plummets as a whole, so does the index – such as theFTSE 100 following the outbreak of Covid-19. So in some cases, strong individual stocks could perform better than the index in times of economic difficulty. ❌ Not responsive. There isn’t a large amount of flexibility because index funds are largely a passive investment approach. So there’s not a lot of trading in and out of investments....
