Re: Index Fund or ETF
Get the prospectuses for each and see which one has the lower fees. I think the EFT has a little bit smaller fee but I'm not sure.
Personally, I prefer the EFTs because they are easier to buy and sell. Basically you can trade them just like a stock.
Also, the tax treatment might be different. The index fund may have to distribute profit every year whereas EFT gains and losses may have to be booked only when you sell.
