Can index fund performance be guaranteed?
Index funds mirror the index they are designed to track. If the index being tracked loses money in a particular year, your index fund will lose about the same amount of money. Since index funds invest in stocks, and the value of stocks fluctuates up and down, your index fund holdings will fluctuate up and down with the index.
