An index which performance generally reflects the returns of the large-company US universe. It is computed by Standard and Poor's, a division of McGraw-Hill Company. The 500 stocks are chosen by the S&P committee, and the index is market-value weighted. This means that the movements in price of companies whose total market valuation is larger will have a greater effect on the index. It is preferred by investment professionals over DJI because of its broader range of industries included. In addition, S&P includes DJI and some of NASDAQ stocks.
