Financial Indices
The Investor10 Financial Indices page brings together major U.S. and global market indices in one place.
Users can track the latest index values, review historical performance, and access information that helps explain market trends and the performance of global equity markets.
How do financial indices work?
Financial indices are benchmarks designed to measure the performance of a group of securities that represent a particular market, sector, or investment strategy.
Each index follows its own methodology, which determines its constituents, calculation method, weighting criteria, and periodic rebalancing. As a result, indices are widely used by investors as benchmarks to evaluate market performance and compare investment results.
For example, the S&P 500 tracks the performance of 500 of the largest publicly traded U.S. companies, while the Nasdaq-100, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Russell 2000, and NYSE Composite measure different segments of the U.S. equity market.
