The benefits of index investing
Lower management fees
Index investing involves less analysis, fewer transactions, and less human intervention than active management. The result: lower management fees. Over the long term, these savings can make a real difference in your net return — especially in non-registered accounts.

Greater return predictability
By investing in a stock index, you follow the market instead of trying to beat it. This approach avoids risky bets and offers more stable performance year after year. It’s a cautious strategy, well suited for those who want to build their wealth with discipline.
On that note, here are three lessons from a surprise market rebound that highlight why it’s so hard to beat the market in the short term.
Instant diversification
Index funds give you access to a large number of companies across various sectors and regions. For example, a fund that tracks the S&P/TSX index covers the largest Canadian companies. It’s a simple and effective way to reduce the overall risk of your portfolio.
Fewer transactions = less tax to pay
Since index portfolios have low turnover, they generate fewer sales — and therefore fewer taxable capital gains. This helps defer taxes and, in some cases, allows for better withdrawal planning. It’s a key advantage for non-registered accounts or during decumulation in retirement.
