A short paperback primer by Charles Kendrix on index fund investing. It explains how index funds mirror a market index like the S&P 500, why passive management keeps fees lower than active funds, and how mutual funds differ from index funds. At 28 pages it is a quick introduction for a beginner who wants the basic case for hands-off, diversified stock market investing. It is far thinner than full-length personal finance books, so it covers concepts rather than deep portfolio strategy.

This paperback book is an introduction to index funds. It explains that index funds hold stocks that mirror the companies and performance of a market index, such as the S&P 500. They are passively managed, carry lower fees than actively managed funds, and are well diversified.
The book explains the difference between two common options: mutual funds and index funds. It lays out a simple plan for taking advantage of the U.S. market's ability to grow over time.
