This thread will help you to understand the index funds really well. If you want more of such threads in future,do comment the topic you want me to cover and don't forget to RETWEET! Let's start :

Who started it?
John Bogle, commonly referred to as Jack, is known as The Father of Index Investing and The Father of Index Funds. Bogle was born in Montclair, New Jersey on May 8, 1929.
What was the first index fund?
After graduation, Bogle went to work for Wellington Management from 1951 to 1974, but was fired because of a merger decision he made. In 1974, he found the Vanguard Group Inc., and in 1976 he introduced the first retail index fund the Vanguard 500
Why should we trust Bogle and not telegram rockets?
Although Bogle was initially mocked for his introduction of the index fund, he proved to be a true visionary and was even named as one of the โ€œWorldโ€™s 100 Most Powerful and Influential Peopleโ€ by Time Magazine in 2004
What is Vanguard's position right now?
Vanguard has grown to become one of the worldโ€™s largest investment management companies, with more than five trillion in global assets under management. Although Mr. Bogle died in January of 2019, his philosophy of index investing is ALIVE.
But what are index funds?
An index fund is a type ofย mutual fund with a portfolio constructed to match or track the components of a financialย market index,such as SENSEX , NIFTY 50 etc!Most index funds are greatly diversified that could only be matched by a few investors
Before we move ahead,Can you please explain me about index funds in Hindi too as my English is not that good?

Let's move ahead to know more...
Why should we invest into index funds?
1-Index funds outperform the vast majority of actively managed funds. Two-thirds of actively managed mutual funds have failed to beat their relevant index in a typical year, and over 80 percent
2-Investing in index funds provides simplicity and transparency to an investment portfolio. Individual investors pay unprecedented attention to their investment portfolios and abandon during financial crisis.Index funds are secured so you can hold onto it.
3-Investing in index funds serves to counteract several harmful biases in behavior. You are your worst enemy when it comes to investing! Overconfidence, aversion to loss, and herding are just some that can prevent you from making the right investment decisions.
4-Index funds are extremely tax efficient, since they have very low turnover rates. The turnover rate is the percentage of a fundโ€™s holdings that are exchanged (sold and replaced) in a given year.
5-Since index funds are passive investments, they incur much lower expenses to manage. Actively managed funds charge higher fees that may be the result of research by analyst, transaction fees and numerous other fees or expenses which simply are non-existent with index funds.
But there must be some disadvantage right? Yes there is!
When you invest in an invest index fund, you will not outperform its benchmark index. Since index funds are designed to mimic their benchmark, thatโ€™s to be expected. So you basically are going to match benchmark only.

This thread is about the top reasons why most traders fail. If you want more finance and business related threads on regular basis,don't forget to retweet and share with your friends.

1. Negligence of risk management
While we can't foresee what the business sectors will do before long, hours, or days, however we do have full power over our danger levels at some random time. Risk management not just includes stop loss but also avoiding unnecessary trades.

2. Not having it planned out
A philosophy, or set of rules, is necessary. The business sectors can be tumultuous and confounding, particularly for somebody without a particular game plan that can be utilized over and over. Hence,planning essentially is going to help in any case.

3. Wanting to be always right
Numerous unpracticed informal investors center a lot around their triumphant rate. There will be times when you'll question your trading abilities, or even think whether trading is the correct occupation for you. No one is right always,cut losses.

4. Bad risk-to-reward ratio
There are two reasons traders end up with a poor risk-to-reward ratio:
a. They don't have an exit plan and rather essentially respond to the market without doing maths.

b. They can't hold their winnersโ€ฆ yet they hold their losers.
