S&P 500 Stock Index Description

The S&P 500 Index is calculated using a base-weighted aggregate methodology. That means the level of the Index reflects the total market value of all 500 component stocks relative to a particular base period. The total market value of a company is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares outstanding.

The components of the S&P 500 are selected by committee. This is similar to the Dow 30, but different from others such as the Russell 1000, which are strictly rules-based. The committee selects the companies in the S&P 500 so they are representative of various industries in the United States economy.

The S&P 500 is one of the most commonly used benchmarks for the overall U.S. stock market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was at one time the most renowned index for U.S. stocks, but because the DJIA contains only 30 companies, most people agree that the S&P 500 is a better representation of the U.S. market. In fact, many consider it to be the definition of the market.

Statisticians call an index of a set of combined variables (such as price and number of shares) a composite index. An indexed number is used to represent the results of this calculation in order to make the value easier to work with and track over time. It is much easier to graph a chart based on indexed values than one based on actual values.
