About the S&P 500

The S&P 500 (Standard & Poor's 500) is a stock market index tracking the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed on US stock exchanges. It is widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap US equities and covers approximately 80% of available market capitalization.

The index is market-cap weighted, meaning larger companies like Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA have a greater influence on its performance. The S&P 500 has delivered an average annual return of approximately 10% since its inception, making it the benchmark against which most investment managers are measured.
