Cautious Investors - Just invest into S&P 500 Index Fund/ETF

The average stock market returns hover a little over 10% per year, per S&P 500 index. Google and see a ton of articles with historical data on it.

I guess it depends on your unique (financial) situation, but if that’s the case, why some aren’t or can’t invest soundly (With historical facts) and be on the safe-side and invest (All-in) on an S&P 500 index fund or ETF? Seems like there’s some that just want to outperform the S&P 500 and gain slightly above 10% in annualized returns. But, power to them who aren’t risk-adverse.

It’s by no means going to make you overly wealthy and it’s not the most diversified fund/ETF in your portfolio, but for those who want simplicity and close to expected results on returns, “VOO/FXAIX and chill” is what I’ll tell most people to put in their 401ks and IRAs if they don’t want to stress over finding the bests indexes, ETFs, individual stocks, etc. to beat the S&P 500.
