Comparing ETFs and Index Funds as Passive Investment Options
Passive investing is growing in popularity, with investors choosing between exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and index funds. Both track market indices like the Nifty 50 or Sensex at low cost but differ in trading methods, liquidity, and fees. ETFs trade like stocks and often have lower fees but may incur trading costs, while index funds offer a simpler, long-term investment approach. These options cover a broad range of indices, sectors, and themes beyond major benchmarks.
