Quick Summary
Mutual funds and index funds are both popular investment vehicles, but they operate differently. Mutual funds are actively managed and can be sector-specific or hybrid, investing in a variety of stocks. Index funds, on the other hand, passively track a specific market index, holding a collection of stocks that mirror that index's composition.
