What are Indices?
Indexes are groups or baskets of securities, derivatives, or other financial instruments that measure the performance of a particular market, asset class, or market sector. Therefore, an index is a statistically representative sample of observable securities in a specific market segment. In the U.S. equity market, the well-known S&P 500 represents the large-cap segment. As the combined value of the securities in the index changes, the numerical value, or the index level, changes along with it.
