📝 What is an Index Fund?
An index fund is a collection of different companies on a list you can put your money into that allows you to own portions to each of those companies within one purchase. An index fund is a type of mutual fund or exchange traded fund (ETF) that tracks the returns of a particular market index. A market index is a collection of securities (such as stocks or bonds) that represent a specific sector of a market or economy.
A popular index fund is the S&P 500 that is the top 500 publicly traded companies in the U.S. and is a broad scope of the U.S. economy. On Fidelity, the S&P 500 Index is listed under the "Fidelity 500 Index Fund (FXAIX)".
If you want a deeper scope, you can invest into the Total Market Index Fund that contains many different small, mid, and large sized companies. This is listed on Fidelity as the "Fidelity Total Market Index Fund (FSKAX)".
Why Invest in Index Funds? (ADVANTAGES)
1. Passively Managed:
The S&P Dow Jones Indices research study states that 10.62% of actively managed funds (controlled by professionals) outperformed passively managed (not controlled by professionals). That means roughly 90% of portfolio managers could not outperform passively managed funds. Always looking for the best Return On Investment (ROI).
2. Diversification
If you only own singular stocks and one was to go bankrupt or collapse in share price, you could lose a significant amount. In comparison, if you owned the S&P 500 with 500 companies, you would have much less risk to losing since 1 company out of 500 is a small percentage to the overall investment.
3. Expense Ratio
The cost to owning index fund based mutual funds or ETFs is much cheaper than purchasing actively managed mutual funds since they charge much higher expense ratios and hidden management fees that over the years will significantly impact your results.

Question I'm a 50y nurse, trying to sure up retirement! So far I have a traditional IRA 4k, but not sure how to set it up id like to invest in the s&p.I have 100k in checking and savings combined, 70k 401k, How would I setup the IRA?
Hi, im very happy with your good vídeo. But i need to know for People from África are they allowed to join on fidelity index funds?
I seriously cant thank you enough for your Fidelity content. The platform is so overwhelming and contains so little plain language for a complete newb like me. I've been dropping money in my core account but too afraid to pull the trigger on anything without knowing specific funds better. This was exactly what I needed to feel confident enough.
Hey! I'm glad to hear that my content is helpful for you! It's great that you are getting started and willing to learn everything! If you have any questions or recommended content feel free to let me know. Thank you for your feedback, It means a lot to me and I appreciate it a ton!
@@DannySullyIf I open a Roth IRA with Fidelity? And I start investing with index founds? Let’s say I have $4500, total. And I loss $500 from the index? That means my Roth IRA now is just $4000??????Im new and want to star???
Fidelity has countless videos and webinars available for replay that covers every aspect of the website and the trading platforms. Both the web based and Active Trader Pro.
Ok! You're the first one to explain simple and in layman's terms. Thank you!
I’m so glad to hear that thank you!!!🙂
Will never understand why they don’t teach this at school. Thank you bro your the goat 🐐
What about the fees?? How much does one pay monthly or yearly on a 1000 dollar etf dividend?
You should know why 😂 they don’t care about us they don’t want us to win… I’m 28 and I just decided to get serious about stocks.. I knew about stocks but didn’t know the depth of it.. I did crypto before but when I was in school they never taught us this and in my opinion like I said earlier they don’t want us to win.. you know how many humans would have been rich/ wealthy if they taught us that in school ??
School want you to become a loyal employee. Don’t want you to become millionaire
lol school just wants you to be a good robot for the elites. of course they wouldnt teach this stuff in public school
@@theboringtrading correct
Absolutely killer breakdown . Nice job Danny
I appreciate that a ton, thank you!
I’m subscribing! Love the detailed explanation
Thank you so much!! :)
Giving you a solid 5 stars Danny. I’ve all my 401ks with Fidelity and I’ve also opened an IRA with them to invest in for almost a year now with no funds in it yet. This video is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you! 👏
Thank you so much, that means a ton to me to hear that!
Thank you so much. Really helped this newbie.
Of course! I'm glad to hear that :)
For me to know absolutely nothing about investing to feeling extreme confident after this video speaks volumes in your ability to teach. Thank you.
Wow thank you so much for your feedback. That means so much to me! I’m glad to hear that!!
@@DannySully please how to open index funds can you send me the link
This was so helpful Thank You!
Thank you so much!! :)
It is the first time I see one of your videos and I subscribed! I’ve been looking for a simple explanation just like this one for a while! Thank you for taking your time and making the info easier to understand!!! ❤
Thank you so much!!! It means so much to me to hear that! The reaction on peoples faces when I tell them how long it took to make that video and even most of my videos is just hilarious hahaha. Thank you for your comment, that is very nice of you :)
You can never say never to opportunity like S&P 500 ETFs, SPY which is up. I’m being instructed by an intelligent investor to buy more anytime it drops, cashing up along the way on every moves, also incorporating new stocks.
SPY, IVV, VOO hitting the scene so far. These ETF's doing just fine.
Stocks is not only about anticipating moves based off trends but anticipating through participating behind real top performers and attain how they execute perfectly.
coach Frost hilda take good care of my holdings giving me an edge to successful interest.
l've been getting suggestions to use a proper enlightened top tier, please help, I will settle for a similar term just to ensure I get it right this time.
I just opened a roth. Im 19. What should i buy?
I've had majority of my holdings in ETFs, tech stocks and I've had 65% increase in my portfolio, especially with Nvidia P/E (price to earnings ratio) adding few others, Feel free to use my steps.
This is one of the best and most comprehensive videos on how to get started or rebalance your portfolio. Thanks Danny for the great info. New subscriber!
That means so much to me, thank you!! I’m so glad to hear that!
This was incredibly beneficial and easy to digest, keep up the great work!
Thank you! I will do my best 🙂
Only daydreamers try to get an LLC without an adviser !!! It’s such a blessing that my husband and I aren’t just married, but we’re also each other’s best strategic partner in business. I’m great at what he lacks, he’s great at what I lack and we have an Adviser to work with. Praise God!! And thank you for the awesome content!
That is so amazing, I’m trying to get LLC at 40. I wish at 55 I will be testifying to similar success with my partner.
The only way I was able to scale through all of this without stress was by working with a financial adviser. My adviser *STEPHANIE KOPP MEEKS* has always had my back all through the process of property investment and investing in general. You can glance her name up on the internet and verify her yourself. She has years of financial market experience.
Okay, Thx.
I found her web page
This scam comment thread is fucking hilarious 😂 fucking losers
Great knowledge, explanation and information. Thank you 🤝
I appreciate that a ton. Seriously, thank you!
I'm totally an amateur about investment but after I watched your video, finally I could go forward with my Fidelity account! Thank you!!
That's great to hear! Thank you!
thank you! Easy to understand, great visuals, and appreciate the comedy!
Of course! Thank you for your words, I appreciate that and am glad to hear that!
Thanks Danny... You covered Fidelity funds really welll... I might keep coming back here to refresh my knowledge.
Thank you! That’s means a lot to me and I hope you do :)
Thank you for the detailed video and explaining the concepts very well with the added benefit of providing clear advice on how to approach our investments. I’ve watching similar investments videos and they explain it but never really advise how to approach it like you have. Great job!!
The financial markets are full of opportunities, but I’ve learned a lot over the past few years. The key is knowing where to focus and also having a good mentor. like mrs ann fiocca.

Thank you sir for simplifying things you are a great teacher. I will continue to follow and learn and build wealth.
Thank you so much! That means so much to me seriously! I will continue to do my best as far as content and helping others learn and gain the knowledge to build strong wealth!
Thank you so much for this information 🙏
Of course!!🙂
Hi!! I am understanding everything pretty well but have one question. When you go to purchase the Fidelty 500 Index Fund it says that it is $130.52. What is this price indicating? I see that you use $100 to invest in it, but how does it work if the index fund costs more than that? Also, with the cash you have "available to trade" that is coming from your Roth IRA, is this because you had that amount in your account, or because this is the interest that you have from that account? Thank you so much for these videos, you're doing God's work.
There's an to trade by shares or dollars. Effectively buying a fraction of a share. 😉
Thanks for clearing up the whole process. This is reassuring as I start my investment journey!
Thank you! I’m glad to hear that!!
what I learned in this video… is that I can reinvest my dividends from any of my index funds to any one particular index fund, I thought it could only drip back into that same index fund. This is definitely a game changer for me. Thanks
(:
This is so helpful. Exactly what I needed. Thanks
I’m glad to hear that! Thank you!
Best Fidelity Index mutual funds:
- FXAIX (S&P 500)
- FZROX or FSKAX (Total USA fund)
- FSPGX (Large cap growth)
- FSSNX (Small cap blend)
- FLCOX (Large cap value)
- FXNAX (USA bonds)
Do you own all of these index funds?
@@saephan34 I own some, but not all. I have researched them deeply. I only own FXAIX and FSSNX in my 401k.
@@akin242002 I'm new to this, do you have any recommendations to where I could find reliable, digestible research? Sometimes news articles and some descriptions online are hard to comprehend
@@flumpmindset It's difficult to find sources without excessive jargon and academic focused. Here are some I found useful:
- Reddit r/invest
- Investopedia
- TD Ameritrade youtube education section.
The latter 2 are more academic. Reddit r/invest can turn into a Boglehead 3-fund portfolio fan club, but their advice is solid.
Add money market fund to it - it is almost 5% today with no risk going down
This is great information. Very detailed and well explained. Thank you so much. 🙏😊
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me!!
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos on Roth IRAs and index funds, and I really appreciate how clearly you explain everything, it has taken a lot of the anxiety out of finances and investing for me. I have a question - if you’re trying to grow your Roth IRA with index funds, do you reinvest your earnings back into the index funds or do you deposit them into the Roth IRA? I’m a little confused on that because I understand how Roths and index funds work separately, but I’m not sure how they work together. Thank you so much for making these videos!
Wow that means so much to me you have no idea. I’m so happy to hear that, thank you!
And with index funds in a Roth IRA reinvesting your dividends is optimally to have additional compounding on your investments. If you decide to not reinvest then you will be having cash sit in the account until you take further action. Dividend investing for income is typically for taxable accounts that use it for an income source where a Roth IRA is for max growth since you get the best benefit of all… no taxes on gains!! The function of an index fund is the same whether it is a Roth IRA or a traditional brokerage account. But the difference is your goal. Whether you want an income source from dividends or to see more growth from your investments. I’m not a “financial advisor” lol, but reinvesting is the most logical approach for everything unless you truly want dividend income to use or even live off of. I hope this helps and I’m so happy to hear you are benefiting from my content! :)
God. You should write a book. Thank you. This morning I had no idea what an index fund was or why it even existed. Now I understand.
I eventually would love to write one! Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me to hear someone benefit from this.
What about FZROX and FZILX that charge zero fees?
Thank you for making this video.
Of course! (:
This breakdown is top tier. Thank you sir 🙏🏼
Much appreciated! Thank you :)
Thank you. Great info and well done.
Thank you so much!
millions dollars worth of INFO in just 1 video. Thanks for sharing so much knowledge👏🏾🙏🏽
Dang that means a lot to me, thank you!! I will continue to do my best :)
Is there an option in Fidelity to pick specific stock to make my own ETF instead of buying one of the existing options you mentioned
Whats the difference between what you have discussed here and SPY index fund?
These are Index based mutual funds where SPY is an index based ETF. ETFs This video can better help you understand the differences between mutual funds, index funds, and etfs. czcams.com/video/_Oz_l3GQxhU/video.html

Are there bond index funds
Yes there are!
With consistent content you will easily become a large channel. You have a hart of a teacher!! Keep up the good work. Fidelity is my preferred platform for investing.
Thank you!! That means a lot to hear that. I am working on it, and agree it is an amazing platform.
Really very helpful, thanks so much
I’m glad to hear, thank you!!
Great job presenting this material!
You got me thinking haha so I decided to look at the performance of my funds in two different Fidelity accounts.
I have 2 different index funds & they both easily outperformed all other investments. You are spot on!
Thank you so much Ed, that means a lot to me to hear that!
very helpful keep it up! waiting for the next video!
How do I add the 401 k to Fidelity please
Can you make a video about exchanging funds in fidelity? Example Instead of selling just exchange, pro and cont ,, thanks a lot for your videos
My next video is going to be a complete tutorial on how to use fidelity. I hope that includes what you are mentioning exactly. If you plan to exchange a lot, etfs may be the better option since you don’t have to wait as long to buy/sell.
So if I have a 57 how would I allocate that in percentage to the top 6
Great video, by far the best one that I’ve seen so far. I’ve been looking into investing for quite sometime now but all the videos that have came across had me more confused if anything. Thank you so much for literally breaking it down. I subscribed and shared your video with other family members. God bless you!!
Thank you so much!! That absolutely means so much to me to hear that. I hope to continue making an impact for you and others!

@@DannySully hello Danny. My name is Al, do you have time for few minutes one on one chat or email conversation. Im from Massachusetts and I just got my self involved with trading. Thank you.
Hi, I just transferred more money to the account. How do I buy additional shares of a index fund I already own?
Hi there! I'm happy to hear that. You can search in the top right of the website platform the specific index fund you want and you can select how much you want to buy. Or you can select the index fund you already own under the positions tab on the platform and select the buy button to fill out how much you want as well. Hope this helps :)
@@DannySully much appreciated!

Hi Danny. Do you have any video on how to rebalance a Fidelity account?
Hey! So i have not created a full video on rebalancing with Fidelity. The closet I have created is in the video I'll have linked below where I discuss a balancing overview. To skip to that particular section that is about 2-3 minutes, I have timelines in the description that will direct you straight to it. Hope this helps! Thanks for following my content :)

You recommend doing all.of these 6 at the same time?

Thank you for this video 😊
Is it possible to transfer the FXAIX earnings into a personal checking account?
Thank you so much! And no unfortunately it has to be either reinvested in the same security, directly deposited to the core account, or directly to another index mutual fund from Fidelity. If you're curious, you can see this by going to manage dividends on the positions page and scroll into the investments such as FXAIX and look at the opportunities for the distributions and where they can be directed.
Day 1 learning on investing and the details on your video help so much !! 🙏 thank you

Best explanation ever!
Thank you so much!
If only Fidelity advisor explained it this clearly 🤨
This is a great video! I was wondering if you have a video already explaining how to set up a Roth IRA account and explaining how it works, and how beneficial it is as well. I’ve heard it’s something important when it comes to retirement, but I’m not necessarily sure on the rules that it comes with. Another thing, what’s the difference between Roth IRA and HSA?
Hey! Thank you for your kind words! I actually have created a video I believe covers everything you are asking about Roth IRA’s. HSA’s differ from Roth IRA’s and I was actually thinking to make an HSA video as one of my next posts. I will try to work on that for you. Both great resources to take advantage of! Below is the Roth IRA video as well, hope it helps you out :)
czcams.com/video/c6PYuGZ8-dc/video.htmlsi=QV8WR6JvqAqtjkpO
Also, I noticed Fidelity Gov. Money Market (SPAXX) appeared randomly in my portfolio. After doing some research, I discovered it’s a taxable account which accrues interest on any uninvested cash that sits in the account. Is this true even though it’s within a Roth IRA (tax free account)?
If so, would you recommend “reinvest in security” or “direct to another mutual fund” for SPAXX under manage dividend & capital gains?
Sorry for so many questions . I just feel you’re great with explaining so one can understand.
Hey Nicole, I love the questions thank you so much for reaching out in regards to this. Surprisingly enough, I just uploaded a whole video covering money market funds. The interest you earn will be taxed. But if you are in a tax free account you do not pay taxes. The only way out of this in a taxable account is a municipal money market fund (discussed in video). Where you want it reinvested is up to you and what you personally would like out of it. I'm sorry if I missed anything, please let me know if there is anything else!
@@DannySully I will check that video out as well, thank you !
Thank you!
Thank you man, I’m working towards becoming financially literate and this it a great help
That's awesome! And thank you, I appreciate that a ton!
extremely helpful, thank you very much!!!
Of course!
Wow, the way you explained this in basic terms and using the grocery store example was perfect!! Appreciate it as I'm just learning.
Thank you! I love to hear that, that means a lot to me. I’m glad it helped.
Saw you while driving! Instant sub!!
No way!!! That’s awesome thank you so much!
You’ve explained this so well. Thank you. I’ve already saved Fidelity 500. I will listen to your video again.
Thank you so much, I appreciate you telling me that! 👍
How to set up
Wow amazing video! Thank you so much!
Thank you!!
Thank You
Thank you for watching!
Great video! Thanks!
I’m glad to hear that! Thank you!
Okay not sure what I am doing wrong, when I go to trade and do mutual and look for what I want to buy when I go to purchase it showing a violation or penalty
What is the exact message? Maybe you don’t have enough funds or it’s a reminder the market is closed and it will get the next market close. Did you get this solved?
We have fidelity for our 401K and now will reach out to talk about my specific retirement account. I will be 56 soon and not sure how my target date looks for me to retire comfortably, especially SSI going away despite my 34+ years of work and may not be able to collect when my FTA arrives. I also started to dabble a bit using Robinhood but need to be more invested in my research in my retirement at work so this helps -Thanks!!
Of course! And that's great, I personally think Fidelity is one of the most professional ones to use and I'm happy to have my Roth with them.
Would you recommend s&p 500 or S&P total market index ? Pros and cons?
I can not say exactly since it depends on ones own position but I believe whatever makes you most satisfied to have long term and not change thereafter is best. If you do the sp500 only, realize that there are additional stocks like small and mid cap out there to help gain exposure for your portfolio. Overall, I think allocating in multiple areas is the best for an overall portfolio. I hope this helps! Thanks for following my channel :)
❤❤❤
This was great !
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words!
Hello all I’m new to this
So after I set up the funds how to I automatically send money into each fund and send it in percentages to each fund TIA
One way to get to the setting is when you are under account positions > more > manage cash > transfer money > manage automatic transfers. Hope this helps!
So once you buy the fund, you can just keep moving money into it? You don’t have to “buy” the fund again?
yes you can set it up where it automatically pulls from your bank account and invests into a specific investment automatically for you! Pretty convenient and assuring to have.
What are the age and financial requirements to begin investing with Fidelity? And what to you recommend? Loved the video btw tysm :)
Great question! So you can start with a typical brokerage account at the age of 18. If you are younger than that, you'll have to start a custodial account and have a parent or legal guardian sign off. Roth IRA is 18 but you can earlier as well. And the decision depends on your own situation, and what you have going on! A typical brokerage account is the standard for a regular investing though. Thank you four your kind words, i really appreciate it!
do I need a credit card to start ?
Nope!
I have it with vanguard can you make one video with the same explanation but using a vanguard acct
That's amazing you have asked because I just made this video on ETFs not too long ago! I'll have it linked below:
czcams.com/video/qKhpxXyQ4AQ/video.html
You did a great job young man on your video post however, I don’t like the return on some of the index funds you suggested to purchase!🤔🤔🤔
