HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS: The "timing scores" and "regime signals" displayed are based on quantitative models. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity.

Subscribe FreeA low-cost index fund is an ETF that tracks a market index (like the S&P 500) with minimal fees, typically below 0.20% expense ratio. These funds aim to match index returns while keeping costs as low as possible.
Research consistently shows that most actively managed funds underperform their benchmark index over long periods, primarily due to higher fees. Low-cost index funds deliver market returns minus minimal expenses, making them hard to beat.
Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity, and iShares compete aggressively on index fund pricing. Many core index ETFs from these providers charge expense ratios below 0.05%, making the cost differences negligible.
