Why Index Investing: Because indexes are forever | iShares by BlackRock

Welcome to the final installment of our series exploring the power of index ETFs. Over four episodes we've been discussing why indexes:Ensure you don't miss out on growthOffer income without the hassleCut your losers, double-down on your winnersAre designed to last forever (this episode)In this episode we're taking a closer look at why indexes may be the only truly timeless investment product.We all love the idea of being a long term investor, but not every investment is designed to be long-term. The history of the stock market is a history of companies rising and falling, of one generation's giants being disrupted by a new wave of companies.When it comes to index ETFs, it is a completely different proposition. They are designed to be timeless and capture the growth in the stock market, wherever it comes from next.
