Answer:

You want to "beat the market" with the return on your investment

Explanation:

The SP 500 is a good example of diversified portfolio investment. Investing in the index fund is less costly compared to other investment instruments. The SP 500 is considered the benchmark of investment returns in the US. Any attempts to perform better than the SP 500 is termed as trying to "beat the market."

Investors prefer good stock indexes like the SP 500 because they represent diversified investments. They spread risks in many sectors of the economy. Stock indexes have low investment costs and don't need close contact monitoring. Trying to "beat the market" with stock indexes is a daunting task. Any investor who attempts it will end up very frustrated.
