Nov 29th, 2023 | By

The fund’s underlying S&P 500 Index is one of the most widely followed gauges of large-cap US stocks. The index is composed of the common stock of 500 US companies weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization. Index constituents are selected at the discretion of an index committee within S&P Dow Jones Indices that is tasked with the objective of ensuring that the index reflects the performance of the US large-cap equity segment with a balanced representation of sectors and industry groups. To be eligible for inclusion, companies must trade on a recognized domestic exchange (e.g NYSE, NASDAQ) and have a market capitalization of at least $14.5bn on rebalance dates with a float-adjusted market capitalization that is at least 50% of the unadjusted minimum market capitalization. Companies must also have reported positive earnings over the most recent quarter, as well as over the most recent four quarters (summed together). The index is rebalanced quarterly in March, June, September and December.
