Yes It’s a good reliable way to get good long term performance at a low to no cost. And will often beat actively managed funds if you lump them all together, but not allI only buy indexes so there you go!
Fund managers are the same nor do they stay the same forever So knowing the fund and the manager takes time and effort.
I have some actively managed large growth funds that are beating their correlated indexes but the small cap index I have is outrunning my actively managed small caps By 7-5%. I nerd out on fund manager research( basically that’s who you hire to manage the fund for that fee) so it isn’t painful the same way nerding out on an oil page for years isnt.
