What is a broad-based Index?

An index, such as the S&P500, is designed to track companies in a broad number of industries and market sectors. Thus, indexes like the S&P500 are termed Broad-based. Instead of companies from just one industry, such as Pharmaceuticals, these broad-based indexes will have companies representing many industries, such as Internet Infrastructure, Beverages, Pharmaceuticals and many more.

 

Index Shares that represent a broad-based index
Index Shares are available for a number of broad-based indexes. Through Index Shares, you can buy or sell all of the stocks of a broad based index in a single transaction. The following list gives the currently available broad-based Index Shares. They trade just like stocks from 9:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. each business day. Click on name for factsheet.
