Explore Index Funds** Browse our selection of pre-built index funds, each tailored to different investment strategies and risk appetites. Detailed information about each fund is available to help you make informed decisions. #### **2. Select Your Fund** Choose the token(s) or index fund that best matches your investment goals and add to cart. Whether you're looking for high-growth opportunities or a more stable investment, Sol Index has a token or fund to suit your needs. #### **3. Select Investment Allocation** Determine whether you'd like to invest evenly amongst all the tokens within the index, or weighted appropriately by market cap using the "Funds Allocation" toggle beneath the investment input. #### **3. Invest with Ease** Once you've selected your token(s), fund and allocation, investing is as simple as entering the amount of SOL you'd like to spend and completing the transaction via wallet signature. Be sure to leave a bit of SOL for the following fees (size will vary based on cart size and existing wallet accounts). * **Creation of Token Accounts (Rent):** When you purchase tokens, new token accounts may need to be created, requiring a small rent fee. This fee is deducted to maintain these accounts on the Solana network. Tip: If you sell the token(s) and would like to claim this "Rent" back, you can use a tool like [SOL Incinerator](https://sol-incinerator.com/). * **Gas Fees:** Gas fees are transaction fees paid to process transactions on the Solana blockchain. These fees vary based on network activity and transaction complexity. * **Slippage for Quotes:** Slippage occurs when the price of a token changes between the time you place your order and when it’s executed. A small buffer is needed to account for potential price differences, ensuring your transaction goes through successfully. * **1% Platform Fee:** Sol Index charges a 1% fee of the total transaction amount. This fee supports the maintenance and development of the platform. Sol Index automatically handles the purchasing of the underlying token(s) within the selected index. If any transaction within the index fails due to quote expiration, you can simply retry using the provided alert call to action. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
