I've got an emergency fund that will cover one year of expenses in a savings account that pays .75% interest. No debt. I want to invest half of it into a very broad, low volatility index fund.

A friend had mentioned an index fund comprised of index funds?

I understand there will always be volatility. I'll roll those dice

Recommendations? Thoughts?

Thank you,

if it is emergency money, and you want low volatility look at short term bond funds, and i know boards obsession with index funds but in this case i would want an actively managed bond fund.
