The S&P 500,[2] or simply the S&P,[4] is a stock market index that measures the stock performance of 500 large companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States. It is one of the most commonly followed equity indices.[5]

The S&P 500 index is a capitalization-weighted index and the 10 largest companies in the index account for 27.5% of the market capitalization of the index. The 10 largest companies in the index, in order of weighting, are Apple Inc., Microsoft, Amazon.com, Facebook, Tesla, Inc., Alphabet Inc. (class A & C), Berkshire Hathaway, Johnson & Johnson, and JPMorgan Chase & Co., respectively.[2] For a list of the components of the index, see List of S&P 500 companies. The components that have increased their dividends in 25 consecutive years are known as the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats.[6]: 25 

Index funds that track the S&P 500 have been recommended as investments by Warren Buffett, Burton Malkiel, and John C. Bogle for investors with long time horizons.[7]

Although the index includes only companies listed in the United States, companies in the index derive on average only 72% of their revenue in the United States.[8]

The index is one of the factors in computation of the Conference Board Leading Economic Index, used to forecast the direction of the economy.[9]

The index is associated with many ticker symbols, including: ^GSPC,[10] INX,[11] and $SPX, depending on market or website.[12] The index value is updated every 15 seconds, or 1,559 times per trading day, with price updates disseminated by Reuters.[13]

The S&P 500 is maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices, a joint venture majority-owned by S&P Global, and its components are selected by a committee.[14][15]

Investing in the S&P 500

Mutual and exchange-traded funds

The easiest way to invest in the S&P 500 is to buy an index fund, either a mutual fund or an exchange-traded fund that replicates, before fees and expenses, the performance of the index by holding the same stocks as the index, in the same proportions. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that replicate the performance of the index are issued by The Vanguard Group (NYSE Arca: VOO), iShares (NYSE Arca: IVV), and State Street Corporation (NYSE Arca: SPY). These can be purchased via any electronic trading platform or stockbroker. In addition, mutual funds that track the index are offered by several issuers including Fidelity Investments, T. Rowe Price, and Charles Schwab Corporation.[16][17][18]

Direxion offers leveraged ETFs that attempt to produce 3x the daily result of either investing in (NYSE Arca: SPXL) or shorting (NYSE Arca: SPXS) the S&P 500 index.[19]

Derivatives

In the derivatives market, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) offers futures contracts that track the index and trade on the exchange floor in an open outcry auction, or on CME's Globex platform, and are the exchange's most popular product. Ticker symbols are /SP for the full-sized contract and /ES for the E-mini S&P contract that is one fifth the size of /SP. In May 2019, the CME started trading a Micro E-mini futures contract that is one tenth the size of the S&P E-mini contract, i.e. 1/50 the size of the full-sized (SP) contract. The Micro E-mini S&P 500 Index contract's ticker symbol is /MES.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) offers options on the S&P 500 index as well as on S&P 500 index ETFs, inverse ETFs, and leveraged ETFs.

History

In 1860, Henry Varnum Poor formed Poor's Publishing, which published an investor's guide to the railroad industry.[20]

In 1923, Standard Statistics Company (founded in 1906 as the Standard Statistics Bureau) began rating mortgage bonds[20] and developed its first stock market index consisting of the stocks of 233 U.S. companies, computed weekly.[1]

In 1926, it developed a 90-stock index, computed daily.[1]

In 1941, Poor's Publishing merged with Standard Statistics Company to form Standard & Poor's.[20][21]

On March 4, 1957, the index was expanded to its current 500 companies and was renamed the S&P 500 Stock Composite Index.[1]

In 1962, Ultronic Systems became the compiler of the S&P indices including the S&P 500 Stock Composite Index, the 425 Stock Industrial Index, the 50 Stock Utility Index, and the 25 Stock Rail Index.[22]

On August 31, 1976, The Vanguard Group offered the first mutual fund to retail investors that tracked the index.[1]

On April 21, 1982, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange began trading futures based on the index.[1]

On July 1, 1983, Chicago Board Options Exchange began trading options based on the index.[1]

On January 22, 1993, the Standard & Poor’s Depositary Receipts exchange-traded fund issued by State Street Corporation began trading.[1]

On September 9, 1997, CME Group introduced the S&P E-mini futures contract.[1]

In 2005, the index transitioned to a public float-adjusted capitalization-weighting.[23]

Selection criteria

Like other indices managed by S&P Dow Jones Indices, but unlike indices such as the Russell 1000 which are strictly rule-based, the components of the S&P 500 index are selected by a committee. When considering the eligibility of a new addition, the committee assesses the company's merit using eight primary criteria: market capitalization, liquidity, domicile, public float, Global Industry Classification Standard and representation of the industries in the economy of the United States, financial viability, length of time publicly traded, and stock exchange. Over the past few years, there has been a decline in the number of S&P 500 companies with classified boards.[24]: 159  Requirements to be added to the index include:[3]

  1. Market capitalization must be greater than or equal to US$8.2 billion
  2. Annual dollar value traded to float-adjusted market capitalization is greater than 1.0
  3. Minimum monthly trading volume of 250,000 shares in each of the six months leading up to the evaluation date
  4. Must be publicly listed on either the New York Stock Exchange (including NYSE Arca or NYSE American) or NASDAQ (NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Select Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market).
  5. The company should be from the U.S.[25]
  6. Securities that are ineligible for inclusion in the index are limited partnerships, master limited partnerships and their investment trust units, OTC Bulletin Board issues, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, Exchange-traded notes, royalty trusts, tracking stocks, preferred stock, unit trusts, equity warrants, convertible bonds, investment trusts, American depositary receipts, and American depositary shares.[3]

To remain indicative of the largest public companies in the United States, the index is reconstituted quarterly; however, efforts are made to minimize turnover in the index as a result of declines in value of constituent companies.[14][3]

A stock may rise in value when it is added to the index since index funds must purchase that stock to continue tracking the index.[26][27]

Index value calculation

The index is a free-float capitalization-weighted index;[28]: 150  that is, companies are weighted in the index in proportion to their market capitalizations. For purposes of determining the market capitalization of a company for weighting in the index, only the number of shares available for public trading ("public float") is used; shares held by insiders or controlling shareholders that are not publicly traded are excluded from the calculation.

The formula to calculate the S&P 500 index value is:

where is the price of the i-th stock in the index, is the corresponding number of shares publicly available ("float") for that stock, and is a normalization factor.

The , currently below 8.3 billion,[29] is a number that is adjusted to keep the value of the index consistent despite corporate actions that affect market capitalization and would otherwise affect the calculation formula, such as additional share issuance, share buybacks, special dividends, constituent changes, rights offerings, and corporate spin-offs. Stock splits do not affect the divisor since they do not affect market capitalization.[3] When a company is dropped and replaced by another with a different market capitalization, the divisor needs to be adjusted in such a way that the value of the S&P 500 index remains constant. All divisor adjustments are made after the close of trading and after the calculation of the closing value of the S&P 500 index.[30]: 290 

Performance

The average annual total return and compound annual growth rate of the index, including dividends, since inception in 1926 has been approximately 9.8%, or 6% after inflation; however, there were several years where the index declined over 30%.[31][32] The index has posted annual increases 70% of the time.[5] However, the index has only made new highs on 5% of trading days, meaning that on 95% of trading days, the index has closed below its all-time high.[33]

Returns by year

Returns are generally quoted as price returns (excluding returns from dividends). However, they can also be quoted as total return, which include returns from dividends and the reinvestment thereof, and "net total return", which reflects the effects of dividend reinvestment after the deduction of withholding tax.[2]
