# Why Indices?

**1. Diversification**

* Broad Exposure: Index funds provide exposure to a wide range of tokens across projects.
* Risk Reduction: By spreading investments across multiple assets, the risk of significant loss is minimized and the chance of picking a winner is maximized.

**2. Passive Management**

* Hands-off: Our indices are automatically rebalanced every hour with the most appropriate tokens for the index. Index funds aim to replicate the performance of a specific market index, providing returns that are consistent with the overall market.\*

**3. Ease of Investment**

* Simplified Decision-Making: Investing in an index fund simplifies the investment process, as it eliminates the need to select individual tokens.
* Accessibility: Index funds are suitable for investors with different levels of expertise.

\*NOTE: Sol Index does not currently rebalance tokens within your wallet, as it is a non-custody solution. The tokens are rebalanced on the website and you purchase a snapshot of that index. We are working towards a system by which individuals can self-direct an index rebalance at any moment in time to the current token inclusion and weight.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.solindex.xyz/products/indexes/why-indices.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
