S&P 500 (INDEXSP: .INX)
Name: S&P 500
Description: The most-followed equity index in the world and one of the most representative equity benchmarks in America. Trillions of assets track S&P’s movements via ETFs and funds. S&P’s deep liquidity attracts trading via futures and other derivatives. The index’s wide constituents (500) means its price volatility appears lower than some other indices. At 1.6 per cent, S&P’s dividend yield is relatively unappealing compared to Treasuries.
