As the universe of index funds has boomed, there are more funds covering more asset classes, including international stocks, emerging markets equities, sectors, industries and much more.
Additionally, income investors can find a plethora of index funds that can help boost portfolio yield and income potential, whether that be with dividend index funds or fixed income funds.
