While there can sometimes be substantial monetary barriers to entry to the tune of tens of thousand of dollars when it comes to investing in a professionally-managed cryptocurrency index fund, it is easier than ever to enjoy the benefits of crypto index funds without having to overcome such hurdles.

What are Cryptocurrency Index Funds?

In general, index funds are portfolios of securities that seek to track market indexes in terms of both composition and financial performance. Major stock indices include the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the Nasdaq Composite. Index funds are regarded as an effective way to minimize trading fees and gain broad exposure to the market, thereby achieving diversification at a low cost.

Index funds have been gradually gaining in use and popularity in the past decades, as they have proven to outperform most active managed funds and are very accessible to the average investor. Following the explosion in popularity over the past couple of years, it was only a matter of time until cryptocurrency index funds emerged as alternatives to traditional index funds.

Investing in cryptocurrency index funds has some notable advantages over picking and choosing specific coins. In particular, cryptocurrency index funds:

1. Give broad exposure to the crypto market easily and at low cost
2. Allow focus on particular segments of the market (based on size or category)
3. Distributes the risk of any particular cryptocurrency failing
4. Can be set up and managed yourself

The first three benefits are largely the same as traditional index funds, but the fourth is unique to crypto index funds. This is because traditional index funds must be purchased from a brokerage firm or directly from a mutual fund company. In that way, your investment options are constrained by the index funds available at a given time. With crypto index funds, it is quite easy to replicate the portfolio holdings of a professional crypto index fund like the Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index from the comforts of your own computer, without needing to purchase the index directly from a broker or open any special accounts.
