An “index fund” is not an investment. It’s a large class of very diverse investments with different characteristics.
Reading charitably, the advice the invest in an index fund really says “your investment portfolio should be diversified”. That is generally true, but woefully inadequate as a sole guideline to figure out where to put your money.
