How to invest in index funds? Before investing in index funds, we must know some basic knowledge about index funds.
Fund code: "ID card number" of the fund
The naming codes of funds are different in different markets, and A-share funds are generally composed of six digits. But there are five Hong Kong stock funds. American stock funds are composed of 3-5 English characters.
Net fund value: the market value of a fund
For example, for a fund, its net value is 1.5 yuan. For each such fund share, the market value of financial assets including stocks is 1.5 yuan. If you buy an index fund of 1000 yuan and the net value of the fund is 1 yuan, you will buy 1000 shares; if the net value of the fund is 2 yuan, you will buy 500 shares. The net value of a fund is not a measure of whether a fund is worth buying. The net value of a fund has nothing to do with whether the fund has investment value. Whether the specific value is worth investing should be analyzed. At present, all domestic index funds start at one yuan, and only a few hundred yuan is required to invest in index funds, which is a very low threshold.
What are the common index funds?
There are hundreds of index funds in China. We can't invest all of them, and there is no need to invest all of them. We just need to find the best one and make money from them. We all know that the index of index fund is determined at the beginning of its establishment and is formulated by stock exchanges or financial service institutions.
We often hear the news that "the Shanghai Stock Exchange Index has exceeded 3000 points". The point of this index is the weighted average of the stock prices behind it. In short, the points can be regarded as an average price of these stocks behind the index. It reflects the overall change trend of constituent stocks.
The most common indexes include:
SSE 50: Specialized investment in large enterprises
CSI 300: Specialized investment in large and medium-sized enterprises
CSI 500: Specialized investment in small and medium-sized enterprises
Dividend index: specialized investment in high dividend enterprises
