There are many reasons why index funds are better, but here’s the ultra short summary:

(1) Index funds tend to beat actively managed mutual funds in the long run
(2) Index funds generally have lower expenses
(3) Index funds are easy to understand; greater transparency
(4) Index funds are boring and therefore generate less stress

I’m not a financial advisor, but I still think index funds rock.
