i actually have several questions regarding index funds if anyone would be so kind to explain to me.
-firstly how exactly do i achieve a 'highly diversified' set of index funds?
-i've heard vanguard a lot, but which other fund companies offer quality index funds?
-and does it make a difference if i'm from Canada? can i buy american company index funds like vangaurd?

thanks, and hopefully my questions aren't too broad.

Diversified might mean across geographies in this case.

50% US, 50% Foreign

I don't know what you should do as a Canadian, but I wouldn't allocate more than 20% to a Canadian specific fund.
