Investing doesn't require a fortune or advanced knowledge. Start small and let compound interest work for you over time.
Start with Index Funds
Index funds track market indexes like the S&P 500. They offer instant diversification, low fees, and consistent returns. Perfect for beginners.
Popular Index Funds:
- • Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO)
- • Fidelity S&P 500 Index (FXAIX)
- • Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF (SWTSX)
- • Total market index funds
Dollar-Cost Averaging
Invest the same amount regularly (monthly). This reduces timing risk and builds discipline. Start with $100-500/month and increase over time.
